PHILADELPHIA  The trade deadline came and went Tuesday without any fireworks from the Yankees, who had plenty of balls in the air but only pulled down a few as they tried to fortify a roster that is only guaranteed to include Juan Soto for a few more months.  The heaviest lifting came on Saturday, when , but on Tuesday they added a pair of relievers ( and from the Padres, both of whom are under team control through 2026) and subtracted another (Caleb Ferguson to the Astros) before beginning the final 54-game stretch trailing the Orioles by a half-game in the AL East.  Chisholm continued to make an impact with two more homers in and the Yankees are banking on his athleticism to help fill their hole at third base, a brand-new position.  Jazz Chisholm belts a three-run homer, his second of the game, in the seventh inning of the Yankees 7-6, 12-inning win over the Phillies on July 30, 2024.  Getty Images  Leiter arrived before game time Tuesday and .  Hes expected to be a high-leverage reliever with swing-and-mi s stuff who can also get lefties out, while De Los Santos adds another strikeout threat for a bullpen that has largely been mi sing one this season.  Explore More  But left on the table were potential deals to add another bat, late-inning reliever (particularly from the left side) or even a starting pitcher.  The Yankees received a scare on Tuesday when with general body fatigue, though the team did not seem overly concerned  as indicated in part by not adding a starter before the deadline  and hopes to have the reigning AL Cy Young winner slot back into the rotation this weekend.  Aaron Judge had expre sed hope on Tuesday night that the Yankees would be making more moves,  We got some good guys making contributions, Judge said after the win. We saw what Jazz did tonight and Patrick Corbin Jersey  Mark, I dont think he had time to take off his airplane shoes and he was in the game.  Aaron Judge, ripping a first inning single, said on July 30, 2024 that hes glad the trade deadline is over and the Yankees know the main parts of their team they will be going with down the stretch.  Getty Images  More than anything, hes happy to move on.  Im glad its over with, Judge said of the trade deadline.

Chisholm required giving up prospects Agustin Ramirez, Jared Serna and Abrahan Ramirez, though the Yankees held on to their most prized prospects like Dominguez and Spencer Jones.  Joe La Sorsa Jersey
