Yankees Eye Rockies' Jake Bird Amid Relief Search
New York Yankees closer Devin Williams shined in a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium. Williams, along with three other relievers, secured a win after struggling performances by the Yankees' bullpen in recent weeks.
The Yankees' front office is considering further trades as the trade deadline approaches. Despite recent acquisitions, including Amed Rosario and Ryan McMahon, the team is still exploring options to strengthen their bullpen. One potential target is Rockies' righty Jake Bird, known for his impressive strikeout ability.
The Yankees are anticipating the return of several pitchers from injury, which will provide a much-needed boost to their bullpen. However, the team faces a dilemma on whether to make more moves before the deadline to enhance their chances of reaching the playoffs or even the World Series.
Manager Aaron Boone expressed satisfaction with the bullpen's performance in the recent game but hinted at potential changes in the coming days as the Yankees continue to evaluate their roster needs.
