The Yankees were praised by MLB pundits for filling all the holes in their poor defense and bullpen with big name quality players at this years deadline.
Players like utilityman José Caballero to shore up their atrocious defense, middle reliever Jake Bird, elite closers David Bednar and Camilo Doval.
All four new Yankees acquired yesterday just contributed to them losing in Miami. Incredible.
All four Yankees' new deadline acquisitions blow lead in crushing loss to the Miami Marlins
Meet the new Yankees bullpen, same as the old bullpen.
A day after the Yankees remade their bullpen by acquiring three relievers at the trade deadline, all three helped set fire to what should have been the Yankees' fourth straight win.
Jake Bird and David Bednar combined to give up six runs in the seventh inning to erase a five-run lead.
Jake Bird gave up four runs and couldn't even get out of the inning.
Michael Kay and Paul O'Neil on David Bednar at Loan Depot Park.
"He has a 7.04 ERA in nine games and thrown right into the fire in now a nail-biting game." "He's got a different uniform now, Mike. That's gonna change his luck."
One pitch later...
Camilo Doval, with an assist from new utilityman José Caballero, who committed a costly error in right field, coughed up a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth.
The Yankees traded for four players yesterday. All four played today:
Jake Bird 4ER over 1/3IP | David Bednar 2ER over 1 2/3IP | Camilo Doval 3ER over 1/3IP
The end result was a wild and stunning 13-12 loss to the Marlins on Friday night at Loan Depot Park.
MARLINS WIN IT AS THE YANKEES IMPLODE
The Blue Jays lost to the Royals 9-3 on Friday night so it was nice to see the baseball Gods doing their thing, preventing the Yankees from gaining a game on the Jays. The Blue Jays have a 3.5 game lead on the second place Yankees.
The Blue Jays face the Royals this afternoon for the second game of a three-game series at Rogers Centre. Fisrt pitch is at 3:07 PM ET on Sportsnet.
