This season, Doval has regained his elite level with an ERA of <strong>3.09<\/strong> and <strong>50 strikeouts<\/strong> in <strong>46.2 innings<\/strong>, bringing speed and experience to the final innings in New York.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bednar, consistency from Pittsburgh<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<strong>David Bednar<\/strong>, who was briefly sent to Triple-A after a shaky start in Miami, has shown absolute dominance since his return in April. Currently, he boasts a perfect record of <strong>17 saves in 17 attempts<\/strong>, with <strong>23 consecutive appearances without allowing earned runs<\/strong> between May and July. His <strong>2.45 ERA<\/strong> and a devastating curveball (opponent average of .190 and a whiff rate of 37.5%) make him a key piece under contractual control until 2026.\n\nThe agreement with Pittsburgh included Venezuelan catcher\/first baseman <strong>Rafael Flores<\/strong> (club&#8217;s prospect #8), also Venezuelan <strong>Edgleen P\u00e9rez<\/strong> (prospect #14) and outfielder <strong>Brian S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>.\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jake Bird Adds Depth and Flexibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nFrom Colorado comes right-hander <strong>Jake Bird<\/strong>, with an <strong>4.73 ERA<\/strong> in 53.1 innings and a notable home performance (2.48 ERA at Coors Field). He will be arbitration-eligible for the first time at the end of the season and has two remaining minor league options, giving him versatility on the roster.\n\nThe Yankees sent Bird for <strong>second baseman Roc Riggio<\/strong> (prospect #10) and left-hander <strong>Ben Shields<\/strong> (prospect #28 in the system).\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Competitive Context<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nThe new additions arrive at a crucial moment. Current closer <strong>Devin Williams<\/strong> (two-time Reliever of the Year) has been inconsistent, with an <strong>ERA of 5.01<\/strong> and a recently blown save. The moves aim to fortify the bullpen for a close fight for the postseason and provide impact options in both the short and medium term.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York.\u2014 In a clear sign that they are going all-in this season, the New York Yankees made three high-impact moves at the close of the trade market by acquiring relievers Camilo Doval (Giants), David Bednar (Pirates), and Jake Bird (Rockies), significantly strengthening one of the most vulnerable bullpens of the last month in Major [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":972,"featured_media":477038,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[35481],"tags":[611,40231,40813,13766],"class_list":["post-477037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-baseball","tag-deultimominuto","tag-dominican-republic","tag-major-leagues","tag-mlb"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phj1q1-2069","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/DOEZWCUV55DWDB3PCFCFKCKM5A.jpg","dum_api":{"author_name":"Yamell Rossi","author_image":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/cropped-7a176880-76f8-4b0c-9527-4e34feef45e4-96x96.jpg","categories_name":["Baseball"],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/07\/DOEZWCUV55DWDB3PCFCFKCKM5A.jpg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/972"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
