The New York Yankees were hyperactive at the 2021 trade deadline, making multiple moves to bring in some key players such as Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Heaney, and, of course, Joey Gallo.

The New York Yankees have found success in the 2010s, as well as in the 2020 and 2021 seasons thanks to a young core they developed, as well as underachieving players from other MLB teams that New York took a shot on. Not all of the players the Yankees have gambled on have panned out. […]
