Giants trade Camilo Doval to Yankees, Mike Yastrzemski to Royals at deadline buzzer
The Giants traded Doval, 28, to the Yankees, according to multiple reports; Jack Curry of the YES Network had the news first. He's likely to be a set-up man in New York, as he was for much of last year and the start of this one.
The Yankees will have two more years of control over the Dominican right-hander, who has 15 saves and a 3.09 ERA. Two seasons ago, he led the league with 39 saves. According to Curry, the Giants will receive four prospects: catcher Jesus Rodriguez, third baseman Parks Harbor, right-hander Trystan Vrieling and lefty Carlos De La Rosa, who is the Yankees' No. 25 prospect, according to Baseball America. Rodriguez is No. 29.
The Giants moved Yastrzemski just before the deadline for right-hander Yunior Marte, 21, who has a 2.74 ERA at Class-A Carolina, with 79 strikeouts in 82 innings, and only 20 walks. (Not the 30-year-old Yunior Marte who pitched for the Giants in 2022.) Yastzremski is likely to be in a platoon with recently acquired Randal Grichuk in Kansas City.
Like Rogers, Yastrzemski - who made many of the all-time greatest catches in Oracle Park history, including launching himself over a wall for a foul ball Wednesday - will be a free agent after the season. Both were Buster Posey's teammates and there is always the possibility he might choose to re-sign one or both.
With Rogers and Doval departing, Randy Rodriguez, an All-Star this season, might be used as a closer for the first time in his career. Ryan Walker, who closed much of last season, also is available. Luis Matos is likely to see more time in the outfield with Yastzremski's departure, but the club also could add left-handed hitting Drew Gilbert, acquired in the Mets deal, to the mix.

Rob Manfred opens up on heated clubhouse confrontation with Bryce Harper
Rob Manfred took the nothing-to-see-here approach when addressing being cursed out by Bryce Harper during a recent visit to the Phillies' clubhouse. The MLB commissioner spoke with reporters Friday after announcing the 2027 All-Star Game is headed to Wrigley Field and discussed the heated verbal confrontation with Harper last week, first reported by The Post's Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman. 'You know, I don't talk about those player meetings,' Manfred said in Chicago. 'Let me say this: I think more has been made out of this than needs to be made out of it. Bryce expressed his views, at the end of the meeting, we shook hands, and went our separate ways. Not all that significant.' Rob Manfred speaking in Chicago on Friday. Getty Images Harper told Manfred to leave the Phillies clubhouse if he was there to discuss the possibility of a salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement (CBA), with ESPN reporting the first baseman told the commissioner he should 'get the f–k out' if that was the case. The visit was part of Manfred's annual tour of MLB teams and he was only about five minutes into seeing the Phillies when Harper strongly interjected himself. A salary cap has long been a contentious issue, with MLB being the only major sport without some form of one, and appears to be so again with the league's CBA set to expire after next season. The Phillies are among MLB's highest spending teams, fourth in the league at $289 million, only trailing the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees. Bryce Harper was not a fan of Rob Manfred's recent appearance in the Phillies' locker room. Bill Streicher-Imagn Images But there are also teams like the Marlins, who have a payroll of just $66 million. MLB has yet to publicly state what it wants at the bargaining table. But The Post reported the commissioner's office would like some form of a salary cap and there is the expectation of a lockout that could jeopardize a large portion of the 2027 season. Until then, Harper will be mostly focused on keeping the Phillies on top of the NL East as they battle with the Mets in his attempt to win his first World Series. Philadelphia enters Saturday a half-game ahead of the Mets after the latter lost their fourth straight game Friday night, this one a 4-3 home setback in 10 innings to the Giants.

Michael Kay was incredulous after Yankees' choke against Marlins: ‘Worst loss of the year'
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free The lights flickered in the background as the Marlins celebrated their walk-off win, one that perhaps the most pessimistic Yankees fan could never have imagined. The Yankees held leads of six, five and two runs against Miami on Friday, yet surrendered each in a devastating 13-12 loss Friday night at loanDepot Park. Advertisement The Bronx Bombers' pen has had its fair share of blowups this year, but even YES announcer Michael Kay could not believe what he watched — especially after the three new touted relievers acquired at the trade deadline each had forgettable first impressions. 'It is hard to believe what we just watched. Oh, my goodness. What a loss for the Yankees,' Kay said following Agustin Ramirez's walk-off swinging bunt off newcomer Camilo Doval. 'All three relievers that the Yankees acquired, that were so touted, that the Yankees acquired, they all did not do their job tonight. And then it ends this way, in a game that the Yankees led 6-0. And we keep digging new holes … and this one goes under the worst loss of the year.' Advertisement 4 The Marlins celebrate their walk-off win. AP If the Yankees miss out on the postseason, it will be easy to point at Friday's game as the 'Well, that's the game that cost them' moment of the season. All-Star Carlos Rodon received a 6-0 lead and couldn't complete five innings, and reliever Jonathan Loaisiga allowed two inherited runners to score to turn a 6-2 game into 6-4 contest. Advertisement 4 Xavier Edwards celebrating after scoring the winning run. AP New reliever Jake Bird took the field in the seventh with a 9-4 lead, but allowed a grand slam while tallying just one out. Ex-Pirates closer David Bednar replaced him and surrendered a game-tying homer and a go-ahead RBI single in the disastrous seventh that turned the five-run edge into a 10-9 deficit. 4 Michael Kay (right) in a recent photo with David Cone (l), Luka Doncic (second from left) and Meredith Marakovits. @RealMichaelKay/X Advertisement The Yankees rallied to give Doval a 12-10 lead in the ninth but he could not get the job done, with Jose Caballero's costly error putting the game-winning run at third with one out. YES analyst Paul O'Neill said after the error that 'it's like a Little League game going on out here.' The new relievers combined to surrender nine runs (seven earned) on nine hits and two homers in 2 1/3 innings. The Yankees (60-50) are now just a half-game ahead of the Red Sox for the top wild card spot and 3 1/2 games clear of a postseason berth. The series continues Saturday with Cam Schlittler opposing Eury Perez. 4 Camilo Doval exits the field after blowing the save in his first game with the Yankees. @awfulannouncing/X Advertisement 'There's no rhyme or reason why this game happened,' O'Neill said. 'That ball right there (the game-winning fielder's choice) just nubbed in front. Too many mistakes, too many bad pitches when it counted and the Marlins are just playing for fun, they're not giving up. 'You're right, Michael. That's a tough, tough loss for the Yankees. '
