That's all for the #Yankees today. They couldn't add a SP, but they made 3 big, controllable bullpen additions. They also added some speed, flexibility (on offense and defense) and added an elite defender in Ryan McMahon. They're a much better and deeper team than they were a

Brian Cashman said the José Caballero move didn't have anything to do with Anthony Volpe's defensive woes. He wanted to give Aaron Boone some speed/flexibility on the bench. #Yankees

Aaron Boone said he hopes to have all the #Yankees' new players in Miami tomorrow, but there are some travel details to iron out, and weather is a factor.

"Not necessarily," Aaron Boone said of whether he'll use a closer committee. He talked up how Devin Williams has been pitching. #Yankees

Devin Williams said David Bednar was his Team USA catch partner during the WBC. "He's an incredible pitcher. He's got wipeout stuff, and he's having a great year." #Yankees

“We certainly knocked on many doors regarding potential starting pitching, but obviously, we weren't able to match up in that category.” - Brian Cashman #Yankees

José Caballero is already with the #Yankees, obviously. Camilo Doval seemed to be joining the flight to MIA too, as the #Giants were in NY to play the #Mets.

Oswald Peraza said he didn't expect to be traded. "I'm going to be forever grateful to the #Yankees organization for giving me an opportunity to embark on and start this career. I'll always be grateful for that. It's kind of tough. You know, my energy level might be a little low

Aaron Boone on David Bednar: “He’s been through some struggles in his career, even recently, and come out the other side probably even a better, more refined pitcher,” Boone said. "He is a little battle-tested with a lot of success. An All-Star reliever and has also fallen down

Asked about being traded midgame, José Caballero joked, "I was winning today regardless." He grew up a #Yankees fan. Derek Jeter was his favorite player. He added he hopes to bring a championship to the city.

Brian Cashman on new #Pirates prospect Rafael Flores: "He's a big leaguer, and one that they're going to enjoy now. There were certainly lanes for him to push in here, but that's where the rubber meets the road.” #Yankees

“There are certainly benefits to control," Brian Cashman said of the #Yankees getting 3 RPs who won't hit the open market anytime soon. David Bednar & Camilo Doval have closing exp. That's important with Devin Williams/Luke Weaver heading to free agency. nydailynews.com/2025/07/31/yan…

“They’re three incredible pitchers,” said Devin Williams, the #Yankees’ incumbent closer. “You got a lot of options for [Aaron Boone] now. It’s kind of hard to go wrong.” While David Bednar and Camilo Doval have lots of closing experience, Williams is expected to remain in the

Jazz Chisholm Jr. is returning to LoanDepot Park for the 1st time since the #Marlins traded him to the #Yankees. Chisholm didn't have the easiest time in Miami, but this trip is "not a big deal," & there's no chip on his shoulder. "For what? It’s Miami." nydailynews.com/2025/08/01/yan…
