The New York Yankees added three very talented relievers to their bullpen at the trade deadline, and it has formed a very dominant backend group of arms.

The Yankees made a flurry of moves ahead of Thursday's trade deadline and manager Aaron Boone is confident that the team improved.

In separate deals, the Yankees landed David Bednar from the Pirates, Jake Bird from the Rockies and Camilo Doval from the Giants. Their bullpen has struggled in July, and they went out and acquired three capable late-innings options for the team as they look to find stability from their relief pitchers.
