The Yankees continued their quest to bolster the bullpen just minutes before the end of the trade deadline.
According to multiple reports, the Yankees have acquired Giants reliever Camilo Doval. The Yankees traded No. 19 prospect Trystan Vrieling, No. 25 prospect Jesus Rodriguez, Parks Harbor and one other player.
Doval has had a solid season for the Giants. In 47 appearances, he's pitched to a 3.09 ERA to go along with 50 strikeouts in 46.2 innings pitched. He's also closed 15 games for the Giants. It's a nice bounce-back year for Doval, who pitched to a 4.88 ERA last season and lost the closer's job. But he's not far removed from his All-Star season in 2023 when he saved 39 games and pitched to a 2.93 ERA.
The Doval trade culminates an active deadline for GM Brian Cashman, as he brought in a total of three relievers to remake the bullpen. Pirates closer David Bednar and Rockies reliever Jake Bird. Like Bednar and Bird, Doval will be under Yankees control for multiple seasons. Doval is arbitration-eligible for two more seasons before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2028.
