If any team has been cursed with their deadline deals the last few years, it's the Yanks. I'd like to see a list for the last 5 years, it's hilarious how badly they've turned out. This year they outdid themselves, in the very first game after the deadline, the 3 relievers they acquired gave up 9 runs, and Caballero made a big error - the deadline guys were instrumental in turning a 9-4 7th inning lead into a 13-12 loss.
And then last night Bird gives up the walkoff* homer, and gets sent to the minors. This is epic stuff.
