Yankees lose trade deadline addition to ironic team after waiver claim
What was your favorite moment of Enyel De Los Santos' Yankees career? Was it Saturday, when he was claimed off waivers and departed the system?. The Yankees righty, acquired at the deadline in a last-minute scramble, likely saw the writing on the wall when he was left to die on the mound in Monday night's blowout loss to the Chicago White Sox. Of course, it wasn't really a blowout when he arrived; the Yanks trailed 5-2, but carried a tuckered-out bullpen after Clay Holmes' 45-pitch save against the Texas Rangers. De Los Santos' job was either to take care of business or to fail over and over again while saving his compatriots some work. He chose the latter, allowing seven runs to a 90-loss team.

Reddick, a two-time Pro Bowler with an impressive 27 sacks over the last two seasons, has requested a trade from the Jets due to stalled contract extension talks. Chicago is seen as a strong candidate to acquire him, potentially offering one of their two second-round picks in exchange. This move would solidify their edge-rushing position alongside Montez Sweat.
