The Pittsburgh Pirates and New York Yankees made an impact trade on Thursday, and it's clear where both teams stand in the aftermath. New York is going for broke, having acquired ex-Pirates closer David Bednar to go with Jake Bird and Camilo Doval in its new-look bullpen.

With the Yankees needing help in the bullpen, the team will reportedly get David Bednar in a trade with the Pirates before the 2025 deadline.

In a separate trade, the Yankees have acquired righty Jacob Bird from the Colorado Rockies, the team announced. Minor-league infielder Roc Riggio and lefty Ben Shields are going to Colorado in the trade.
