The Yanks went toward the MLB trade deadline wanting to upgrade their relief corps. And goodness gracious, they did that and more. The Yankees pulled off three separate deals before the deadline on Thursday. From the Pittsburgh Pirates, they acquired David Bednar. From the San Francisco Giants, they picked up Camilo Doval.

New York shipped three minor league prospects to last-place Pittsburgh in exchange for Bednar: catcher and first baseman Rafael Flores, catcher Edgleen Perez and outfielder Brian Sanchez.

To beef up their bullpen, the Yankees acquired Giants reliever Camilo Doval just shortly before the 6 p.m. deadline. To complete the trade, the Yankees sent San Francisco four minor league prospects: catcher Jesús Rodríguez, right-handed pitcher Trystan Vrieling, infielder Parks Harber and lefty Carlos de la Rosa.
