Yankees Just Restored World Series Hopes With Long-Awaited David Bednar Trade originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees addressed a significant need on Thursday, swinging a deal for resurgent Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar only hours before the trade deadline.

The Yankees and Pirates have discussed "multiple players," per Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Closer David Bednar is one of them, and starter Mitch Keller is another, although the latter's "price tag might discourage them."
