The Yankees were able to make key trades for outfielder Cody Bellinger and closer Devin Williams. The Yankees also acquired first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and pitcher Max Fried to the active roster. Additionally, the front office picked up numerous players to the bullpen and lineup via free agency and trade to strengthen the depth of the roster.
