After acquiring outfielder Andrew Benintendi and now starting pitcher Frankie Montas, the Yankees are going for it all in 2022.

One Yankee fan is thrilled by the trade.

Overall, the trade for the Yankees gives the team a top of the rotation arm while also giving the team some depth in the bullpen. The dealine is still not over. Will the Yankees look to add more?
