The Yankees just flipped the switch—and the rest of the AL should be on alert. In this episode of BD4, we break down a deadline masterclass! Power arms stacked in the pen, defensive grit on the left side, and a lineup that's finally got depth and versatility. From high-leverage heat to strategic swaps, Cashman went to work! Let’s talk about what this means for October and why Yankees fans should be fired up (with a healthy dose of skepticism too). Oh, they also beat the Rays three out of four.
