The Yankees added two right-handed reinforcements to the backend of their bullpen without dealing away any of their major prospects.

Fortifying their bullpen for the stretch run, the New York Yankees acquired All-Star relievers David Bednar and Camilo Doval in separate deals as they made a flurry of moves Thursday just ahead of baseball’s trade deadline.

That could have been the soundtrack for pitchers David Bednar and Jake Bird, two relievers on last-place teams who ran into each other unexpectedly in the Denver airport early Friday morning and boarded a flight to Miami to join the Yankees, who acquired them at the trade deadline Thursday.
