Try it free The trade deadline isn't providing instant gratification for the Yankees. The YES Network broadcast crew watched in disbelief as the Bombers surrendered 6-0, 9-4 and 12-10 leads on Friday to the Marlins. Miami pulled off a nearly improbable three-run ninth-inning rally to give the Yankees a 13-12 defeat.

Yankees, and their new bullpen acquisitions, implode against Marlins in wild game
One day after the trade deadline, the three newest additions to the New York Yankees' bullpen collapsed in a stunning 13-12 loss to the Miami Marlins. Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval combined to allow nine runs in 2 1/3 innings in what was arguably the Yankees' worst loss of the season. 'Not how you draw it up, but those guys are really good at what they do,' manager Aaron Boone said of his new relievers. 'It's not the first time they've had a rough one, and I fully expect them to bounce back.' It was the Yankees' first nine-inning loss while scoring 12 or more runs since Aug. 12, 1973, against Oakland, according to Katie Sharp of Baseball Reference. MARLINS WIN IT AS THE YANKEES IMPLODE — Jomboy Media (@JomboyMedia) August 2, 2025 Bird, acquired from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for second baseman Roc Riggio and pitcher Ben Shields, gave up four runs and three hits in 1/3 of an inning before Bednar, traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates for three prospects, gave up two runs and four hits and was saddled with his first blown save of the season. And Doval, acquired by New York at the buzzer for four prospects, ended his night with three runs and two hits, as well as a blown save. Advertisement Boone said he used all three new pitchers so he could rest relievers who had been taxed lately. 'We were going to stay away from (Luke Weaver), (Devin) Williams and (Tim) Hill tonight, with as much as we've used them of late,' he said. 'Set up in a good spot to get through there, and obviously just struggled tonight.' The Yankees' three new bullpen acquisitions: Bird, Bednar, and Doval combine to allow 9 earned runs in just 2.1 innings. The team blew leads of 6-0, 9-4, and 12-10, ultimately losing to the Marlins 13-12. — Talkin' Yanks (@TalkinYanks) August 2, 2025 Meanwhile, other big-name relievers who were traded ahead of Thursday's deadline fared better in their first outings with their new teams. Jhoan Duran, who was traded from the Minnesota Twins to the Philadelphia Phillies for a package that included two top-100 prospects, earned a four-pitch save in his first appearance at Citizens Bank Park. Flamethrower Mason Miller, whom the San Diego Padres acquired from the Athletics for a package that included top prospect Leo De Vries, touched 103 mph in his first strikeout for the Friars. Following Friday's loss, the Yankees are 60-50, sitting 3.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the lead in the American League East, and maintain possession of the first AL wild-card spot.

Yankees' trade deadline additions implode in loss to Marlins: Highlights
The New York Yankees blew multiple leads before losing to the Miami Marlins 13-12 at LoanDepot Park on Friday night. While the Yankees outhit the Marlins 15-12, Miami did enough to come out on top with a win that featured a six-run seventh inning. New York blew leads of 6-0, 9-4 and 12-10. The Yankees' bullpen struggled, including three new pitchers acquired before the trade deadline on Thursday. Jake Bird, David Bednar and Camilo Doval all made their debut for New York on Friday. Their outings were not what fans were hoping for. The three pitchers were brought in by New York in an attempt to overhaul the bullpen. Bird allowed three hits, including a home run, and four earned runs in just 0.1 inning of work. He entered the game with the Yankees leading 9-4 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the score at 9-8 Yankees, Bednar was brought into the game in place of Bird. Bednar pitched 1.2 innings, allowing four hits, including one home run, and two earned runs to surrender the lead. He did manage to get the Yankees through the eighth inning without giving up another run. Doval replaced Bednar to start the ninth inning with the Yankees leading 12-10. He allowed two hits and three runs (one earned) in 0.1 innings to take the loss. It wasn't entirely on Doval, though — he was undone in part by a horrible error by another new addition, Jose Caballero. Playing his first game with the Yankees, Caballero misplayed a ground ball hit to right field. With the ball rolling nearly to the warning track, the game-tying runs were able to score and the winning run was suddenly set up on third. Four pitches later, the Yankees' collapse was complete thanks to a dribbler that didn't even make it to the infield grass. YES Network broadcaster Michael Kay called it the Yankees' "worst loss of the year."
