Last day of transfers between MLB teams! New York Yankees fans are waiting for that big signing that will lead them to the playoffs and the World Series. On Thursday, the New York team has integrated a new reliever in its ranks to meet the call of its people. However, it has drawn attention that this new pitcher comes from the worst team in Major League Baseball this season.
The New York Yankees management has announced the arrival of Jake Bird, a reliever from the Colorado Rockies, who in the 2025 season has participated in 45 games where he has obtained four wins and only one loss. In these months he has allowed 56 hits and 30 runs to generate an earned run average of 4.73. The Denver native has struck out 62 batters and walked 23 in 53.1 innings.
The New York Yankees’ post-trade deadline news
The start of the second half of the season for the New York Yankees has been disheartening for their fans, where last Monday they were rated as the worst team of the season where of the last 40 games they only won 15, a worse figure compared to Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox who had 16 wins in the same number of games. That is why their fans are crying out for a pitcher with great credentials where currently the Bronx Bombers are in second place in the East Division with 60 wins and 49 losses.
The Toronto Blue Jays are the leaders of the zone with 5.5 games ahead, but they are only a game and a half ahead of the Boston Red Sox to avoid being relegated to third place. On Thursday afternoon, they managed a victory over the Tampa Bay Rays and in the process took the series 3-1, which has allowed them to stay afloat in the AL East.
New York Yankees’ needs in the trade market
According to Yankees fans’ surveys, a new shortstop was expected to be signed to replace Anthony Volpe, who has made several errors that have cost the Bronx Bombers dearly. They were also looking for a new outfielder, in the absence of Aaron Judge, in case he does not have the expected recovery to play in the outfield after his elbow injury. Even a new starting pitcher was needed in the complete absence of Gerrit Cole.
However, the arrival of Jake Bird seemed like a good idea to the New York Yankees management, who rescued him from the Colorado Rockies, the worst team of 2025 that is marching with a record of 28 wins and 80 losses and the main candidate to reach 100 setbacks. The new Yankees reliever has four years of experience, all with the Denver team, where he has a 1.55 ERA in 188 games played with a record of 11 wins and 10 losses in 230.1 innings pitched.
