While the New York Yankees made multiple moves ahead of Monday's MLB trade deadline, they didn't make a headline acquisition such as Tarik Skubal or Adley Rutschman. "But they did have some asks our way that we were unwilling to do—it was a very specific ask, a certain player/players that we weren't willing to play with in that arena." The Yankees and the rest of the league eventually had to stand by and watch as the Tigers traded Skubal to the Dodgers. That means the back-to-back World Series champions now have the back-to-back American League Cy Young winner and seem primed to add another title. If New York gets through the American League playoffs, it would be anything but surprising if it had to face the Dodgers in the Fall Classic.
