Pirates GM Shares Jaw-Dropping Yankees News. The New York Yankees were active during the MLB trade deadline, finding multiple relievers before closing shop and officially heading into the final stretch of the regular season. In the midst of their pitching moves was a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, acquiring David Bednar in exchange for catcher Rafael Flores, their No. 8 prospect, and first baseman Edgleen Perez, their No. 14 prospect. While on the surface, the trade received some criticism on Pittsburgh side, things are getting much worse. Speaking with the media about the deal, Pirates general manager Ben Cherington admitted he had an opportunity to receive a prospect with similar caliber to Bednar, but instead chose the two players instead.

Red Sox Cooper Criswell, in first major league start of season, steps in and throws a gem. As a swingman who has been up and down from the minor leagues several times this season, Cooper Criswell's job is to be ready when he's called upon. When the team needs him, it's Criswell's job to provide multiple innings, or, as was the case Friday night, a spot start. With Richard Fitts optioned on the recent road trip and opening a temporary spot in the rotation, Criswell seized the opportunity and turned in what was likely the second-best start of his major league career.

Diamondbacks' .362 Triple-A hitter forces Arizona's hand toward a trade or a promotion with funky contract move. The Arizona Diamondbacks are facing a fascinating contract conundrum. When they signed veteran Seth Brown earlier this offseason, the contract included an upward mobility clause, and Brown just triggered that clause on Thursday, according to MLB Trade Rumors. "That clause requires the Diamondbacks to notify all 29 other teams that Brown is available for anyone who wants to add him to their 40-man roster," writes MLB Trade Rumors.

Along with Pena, the team has called up right-handed pitcher Nick Hernandez, who will replace Ryan Gusto on the roster.

Whether that is due to Boston believing a trade acquisition will take his place in the rotation remains to be seen, but the club has been active in its pursuit of a playoff-caliber arm.

It's a risk with little starting pitching depth in Triple-A — the Yankees traded Carlos Carrasco away earlier this week and Allan Winans has struggled with the big-league club — but it gives those phenoms an opportunity to stick around as the Yankees enter the stretch run.

Yankees overhaul bullpen at busy trade deadline with deals for Bednar, Doval and Bird. Fortifying their bullpen for the stretch run, the New York Yankees acquired All-Star relievers David Bednar and Camilo Doval in separate deals as they made a flurry of moves Thursday just ahead of baseball’s trade deadline. The Yankees also added reliever Jake Bird from Colorado and speedy utilityman José Caballero from Tampa Bay — right in the middle of their game against the Rays. New York sent reserve infielder Oswald Peraza to the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees shipped three prospects to last-place Pittsburgh in exchange for Bednar, and four minor leaguers to San Francisco for Doval.
