GM Brian Cashman says Yankees tried for Rutschman and Skubal before acquiring García and Ramos

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman confirmed the team pursued Baltimore Orioles' Adley Rutschman and Detroit Tigers' Tarik Skubal before the trade deadline but failed to secure deals. Instead, the Yankees acquired outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants and first baseman Luis García Jr. from the Washington Nationals. Rutschman was traded to the Boston Red Sox, while Skubal joined the Los Angeles Dodgers.
