Setbacks are nothing new to Gingsanglek Wor ******* chamnarn, and neither is the hunger that carries him past them.
He returns with a renewed focus for his bantamweight Muay Thai co-main event clash against American newcomer Dmitri Ramos at The Inner Circle 26. The entire card will stream live in Asia primetime from Bangkok's renowned Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, August 14, exclusively for subscribers at live.onefc.com.
That evening, the Thai finisher will seek a return to the win column after a knockout loss to four-time Muay Thai World Champion Yodlekpet "The Destroyer" Or Atchariya, which halted a three-fight winning streak that included destructive first-round finishes over Thant Zin and Alexey Balyko.
Rather than let that setback linger, Gingsanglek has channeled the disappointment into motivation as he aims to take another significant stride in his bid to secure the life-changing US$100,000 main roster contract.

The Washington Commanders were back on the practice field Tuesday in preparation for Wednesday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins. After a day in pads on Monday, Washington sat several key veterans ahead of what's expected to be a physical scrimmage-like atmosphere on Wednesday.
Tuesday began with head coach Dan Quinn saying cornerback Trey Amos and center Nick Allegretti would not participate in Wednesday's joint practice. Quinn said Amos would likely be reevaluated next week. The same timeline applies to Allegretti.
As for what happened on the field, here are four players who stood out from Day 10 of Commanders training camp.
With star receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs enjoying a rest day before Wednesday's practice, it allowed some of the younger players an opportunity to shine. That's what rookie Antonio Williams did, catching multiple touchdowns. Williams has been impressive throughout camp. He is excellent at creating separation with his quick feet. It will be interesting to see how much Williams plays in Friday's preseason game.
Antonio Williams just caught back to back touchdowns during 7-on-7. First one from Jayden Daniels, the second from Marcus Mariota. The rookie continues to impress

The San Francisco Giants made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday, ahead of their evening home game against the Houston Astros. As expected, the team found a veteran catcher to back up Drew Cavanaugh, and it's a familiar face: Andrew Knizner.
Knizner had been playing for the Boston Red Sox AAA affiliate until last week, but exercised an opt-out clause. The 31-year old had posted a 141 wRC+ with two home runs in 21 games for Boston's Minor League team (which came after a 123 wRC+ with 10 homers in 33 games with Colorado's AAA affiliate), and was hopeful that he could parlay that performance into another Major League opportunity.
That opportunity came calling quickly, as the Giants announced on Monday that catcher Daniel Susac had a fractured left knee patellar, which almost certainly ends his debut season. San Francisco had added Zach Morgan to the roster to back up Cavanaugh, with Morgan arriving in San Francisco during the third inning of the game. Morgan's debut stint in the Majors lasted less than a game: he didn't see any action, and was optioned to AAA Sacramento on Tuesday.
Knizner, a right-handed hitter who has seven Major League seasons under his belt, played 33 games for the Giants last year, and hit .221/.299/.299 for a 73 wRC+. Thanks to his solid defense behind the dish, though, he was still worth +0.2 fWAR. Knizner will play plenty, but will likely still be the backup to Cavanaugh, so that the Giants can give one of their rookies some serious run to better develop and evaluate him.
Elsewhere on the roster, the Giants activated outfielder Victor Bericoto off the 10-Day Injured List. Bericoto, who is in his debut season, hadn't played since injuring his oblique on July 9. The righty made four rehab appearances with Sacramento, and hit 1-14 with a double, a walk, and six strikeouts. With Heliot Ramos traded, Bericoto is expected to get a chance to be the everyday left fielder, which will serve as an audition for the same role in 2027. He's hitting .293/.305/.552 through 59 plate appearances this year, and jumps straight into the lineup tonight, starting in left field and hitting fifth.

The Seattle Mariners have stuck a fork trident in themselves. And yet, they must continue. 43 games stand between Seattle and the finish line. Laying an egg on a crucial and emotionally charged homestand means the Mariners now enter their most daunting road trip of the season needing a swathe of unlikely victories to bring any semblance of expectations back to their season. That starts tonight at Yankee Stadium, where the battered Bronx Bombers lurk in a measured kinship with the M's in resentment of the surging Tampa Bay Rays.
Get prepared for this three game set with the Series Preview from Jake and Isabelle here.
Series Preview: Mariners (56-63) at Yankees (66-52)
The absence of Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger has undercut the overwhelming nature of the Yankees lineup, but the arrival of Luis Garcia Jr. from the Nationals at the trade deadline, along with lefty-killer Heliot Ramos and rookie George Lombard Jr., has kept the forces behind Benito Arroz formidable. Seattle will face two lefties this series, starting with Ryan Weathers whose groundball stuff has been highly effective as a back of the rotation arm for New York.
First Pitch: 4:05 pm PDT

Ex-Real Madrid star David Alaba has taken to social media this week, to send a message of encouragement the way of Blancos starlet Dean Huijsen. This comes after the latter made the call to take over ownership of Alaba's squad number for the seasons ahead.
Huijsen is fresh off seeing his prominence in Spain's capital reiterated on Monday. After a somewhat hit-and-miss debut campaign in the colours of Real Madrid, the 21-year-old was nevertheless handed an iconic jersey number.
As confirmed by the player himself, Huijsen is Los Merengues' new no.4.
Drawn on his selection by the media on Monday evening, the former Juventus talent admitted that his inspiration was none other than Sergio Ramos.
As alluded to above, though, a day on, Huijsen has received a personal message from the player to have donned the no.4 even more recently than Ramos.

Ruben Amorim is said to be studying a new role for Adrien Rabiot as a trequartista behind striker Goncalo Ramos, therefore giving someone else a chance in midfield.
The Rossoneri struggled badly in pre-season, culminating in their 3-0 defeat to Chelsea, and the new coach is still trying to find his vision.
So far, he has been leaning towards a 3-4-2-1 formation, but there are some adjustments that could use the players already at his disposal.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan Press and more, Amorim's idea is to use Rabiot and Christian Pulisic in the supporting trequartista role behind the centre-forward.

Aug. 10—PULLMAN — Jeremiah Bernard left his feet and dove like he was Superman about to snuff out a local crime. The ball had just left the hands of Owen Eshelman, one of three Washington State quarterbacks vying for starting duties, and it was headed for a receiver toward the sideline of Rogers Practice Field.
It never made it there. Bernard made sure of that, roving over from the safety position and laying out to break up the pass, a feat of athleticism and football savvy. He leapt to his feet in a second, in a heartbeat, the moment's adrenaline propping him back up as quickly as he had soared through the air.
"The guys that we brought in, we're hoping they're gonna be what they are," WSU safeties coach Greg Burns said, "and they're working their **** s off."
A transfer from FCS Cal Poly, Bernard certainly fits that bill, a junior safety who is well on his way to earning a starting role in the Cougs' secondary this fall. Bernard, 6-foot and 196 pounds, doesn't just look the part. He plays like it too, making plays like that seem routine, like they're just in his bag.
How does Bernard fit into WSU's defense? For one, he's a face in a crowded WSU safety room, which also includes San Jose State transfer Jaylen Thomas, Arizona transfer Jshawn Frausto-Ramos and Arizona State transfer Jack Bal. That's without mention ing returners like Kyle Peterson and Kayo Patu, both of whom could also secure roles on this year's defense.

Yankees get bad news from rival clubs on Jasson Dominguez trade value originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Yankees are running into a bit of a problem, and it's not necessarily a bad one to have. With Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, Heliot Ramos, Spencer Jones, and Jasson Dominguez, plus others, the outfield is stacked.
This club is likely going to need to shake up the outfield in the offseason, and if they're going to ship a few players out, Dominguez seems to be an obvious trade chip.
However, USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the trade value for Dominguez, in the eyes of rival MLB clubs, has "plummeted," and the former top prospect isn't nearly as valuable as he once was.
"It's time for the Yankees to trade former prized prospect Jasson Dominguez, but rival clubs insist that his trade value has plummeted," Nightengale reports.

Buster Posey reveals why Giants didn't trade Logan Webb despite heated interest originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco Giants were trade deadline sellers this season, parting with rentals in Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray, as well as controllable players in Heliot Ramos and Erik Miller.
As they sold off a lot of talent, the Giants were also fielding offers on All-Star starting pitcher Logan Webb. Plenty of teams reportedly had a heated interest in him, including the Atlanta Braves, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale.
But the Giants didn't trade him, and Nightengale shared the reason Buster Posey had for his decision to keep Webb, and Giants fans should like to hear this answer.
"He's a guy that I think we all see as somebody that can mentor the next wave of pitchers that come through San Francisco," Posey said. "And yes, I do think there's still a chance, as bad as this year has been, that we can be a team that's in contention."

The first two games of this series against Atlanta, the NL East front-runner and a possible postseason opponent should the Yankees go deep in October, have gone almost as well as possible, considering the glaring holes in the New York lineup. Starting pitching has been a huge reason for that success. Max Fried and Gerrit Cole combined to allow two runs through 13.1 innings in the opening contests. Should similar events unfold today, a sweep is tantalizingly close.
The Yankees theoretically have the right guy on the mound to do it. Cam Schlittler is in the middle of a dominant season, one that has him at the head of the pack for the AL Cy Young (or at least neck-and-neck with Dylan Cease). He's admittedly in a bit of a rough spell, with a 3.86 ERA over his last seven starts. But in his final two starts of July, he allowed one run in 13.2 innings prior to his ****** py outing against St. Louis, so let's not fret he's turned into a pumpkin.
Anyone who has been watching Cam knows what to expect. He brings the heat. His four-seamer, cutter, and sinker account for 90 percent of his pitches and he has been overpowering with them. When he does sprinkle in the curve, it is overwhelmingly to lefties. If you are a right-handed hitter, prepare for the gas.
The Braves turn to Grant Homes to prevent the sweep. Holmes is in the middle of a perfectly cromulent season of his own, for what it is worth. Today should be a juxtaposition of styles. While Schlittler attacks with the No. v1, Holmes will throw the kitchen sink at Yankee hitters. Righties can expect to see his slider, four-seamer, and sinker. He attacks lefties, meanwhile, with the slider, four-seamer, cutter, curve, and changeup. All told, he throws the slider more than any other pitch so expect to see it frequently today.
With a righty on the mound, the Yankee lineup is littered with lefties. In fact, it's actually identical to the one that they deployed on Friday against Holmes' fellow righty, Tyler Mahle. Heliot Ramos and beloved rookie George Lombard, Jr. are the only righties starting today. Ben Rice, fresh off ending an 11-game homerless streak, hits second. The aforementioned Lombard, who went oppo taco for a homer of his own yesterday, hits seventh. Newly acquired Luis García Jr. hits cleanup. Perhaps unsurprisingly as a former division rival of Atlanta, García has the most familiarity with Holmes of any Yankee batter, the erstwhile Nat possessing a 4-for-10 line against Holmes, including a longball.

Ferran Torres appears set for a major move this summer, with TeamTalk reporting that the Barcelona forward has agreed personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a proposed transfer. The Spain international, who has attracted attention from **** nal and Tottenham Hotspur, is now waiting for the clubs to complete what is expected to be a deal worth around €50million (£43m / $58m).
The 26-year-old is entering the final year of his current Barcelona contract, a detail that has clearly shaped the market around him. PSG have moved quickly, identifying Torres as a player capable of strengthening their central attacking options after the departure of Goncalo Ramos to AC Milan earlier in the window.
Photo IMAGO
According to the report, there was firm interest from north London. "We can confirm that both **** nal and Tottenham Hotspur showed an interest in bringing the Spain international back to England, with a return to the Premier League having been a genuine consideration for the player." That line underlines that this was no routine check-in, there was authentic Premier League intent.
Yet the direction of travel changed once PSG entered the picture. "However, once PSG made their approach, Torres spoke with head coach Luis Enrique and that conversation proved decisive." In elite recruitment, these moments often matter as much as fee or wages. A trusted coach, a defined role and a convincing sporting project can tilt the balance very quickly.

On a beautiful Old-Timers' Day at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees beat the Braves, 5-4 the final score, to clinch the series victory.
-Gerrit Cole and Chris Sale faced off against each other for the third time in their illustrious careers.
-The Yankees opened the scoring in the second inning, when Spencer Jones singled home Trent Grisham - who had doubled a few batters earlier - with two outs. Sale wasn't fazed, however, and the southpaw retired each of the next seven Yankees batters he faced.
-The Braves roared back to take the lead in the fifth inning, scoring two runs before Cole could record a single out. The first RBI came off the bat of Mike Yastrzemski, who doubled over the head of an ill-positioned Heliot Ramos in left field to bring home Mauricio Dubon. Austin Riley then singled to put Atlanta runners on the corners, before rookie shortstop Jim Jarvis roped a line drive into right field to bring home Yastrzemski and make the score 2-1 Braves. Yankees skipper Aaron Boone kept the faith in his veteran right-hander, and Cole battled back to retire the next three batters in order to escape the jam, including two strikeouts. Cole's strikeout of Braves slugger Matt Olson was his 1,000th in just 139 games with the Yankees, making him the fastest to reach that milestone in franchise history.
-Leading off the bottom of the fifth inning, George Lombard Jr. successfully challenged two straight pitches to turn a strikeout into a walk. Jones got the best of Sale yet again, driving a front-door slider into the gap for a triple which easily brought home Lombard to tie up the game. Much to the chagrin of Sale and Braves manager Walt Weiss, the umpire ruled that Sale balked, and Jones was allowed to walk home from third base. Weiss was ejected in the ensuing argument. Austin Wells kept the momentum rolling for the Yanks with an opposite-field double, but Ramos grounded into a double play to end the inning with New York leading 3-2.

NEW YORK - It's a fairly quick turnover at Yankee Stadium, after the Yanks' comeback, 10-inning win against the Braves that ended after midnight.
And it's a terrific Saturday afternoon matchup, with Braves' lefty Chris Sale (12-6, 2.08) opposing Gerrit Cole (5-5, 3.42) in a 3:05 p.m. start.
Before Cole takes the mound, there'll be a traditional Old-Timer's Day Game played here - of course, on one of the hottest, most humid of early summer afternoons.
Anyway, Cole is coming off a pair of wins at Chicago, limiting the White Sox and Cubs to a combined one earned run across 11.2 innings on the Yanks' last road trip.
And a lot has changed since then, with the Yanks adding Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos via trades, calling up George Lombard Jr., and sending Jasson Dominguez and Anthony Volpe to Triple-A.

According to Gerard Romero of Jijantes, FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has personally called head coach Hansi Flick to inform him of his desire to leave the club and complete a permanent transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 26-year-old Spain international has made his definitive choice to move to the French capital, prompting Barça and PSG to enter direct, active negotiations to finalise the transfer fee.
The transfer has moved rapidly over the last 24 hours after Torres fully agreed to personal contract terms with the Ligue 1 champions.
Indeed, as previously reported and now confirmed by multiple reliable sources, the forward has accepted a proposed four-year contract that will tie him to the Parc des Princes until June 2030.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott's family photo with ex-fiancee draws attention originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Dak Prescott has spent the early days of training camp focused on football, running drills with CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in Oxnard as the Cowboys prepare for their September 13 opener against the Giants.
On the fifth day of camp, Prescott welcomed a special visitor who cared far more about sunglasses than the playbook.
WFAA-TV reporter Mike Leslie shared the video on Instagram, capturing the wholesome exchange between Prescott and his daughter on the sideline before he returned to practice. Ramos dressed MJ specifically for the occasion, putting her in a white Cowboys logo top, a matching skirt, sneakers, and a hairband with a ribbon.
The two-year-old tossed a mini football to her dad before playfully ******* ing the sunglasses off his face in a moment captured by WFAA's Mike Leslie and shared widely online. The visit came the same week Ramos posted poolside photos of herself and MJ, captioning one simply "Obsessed," as she continues sharing glimpses of their co-parenting routine.

NL exec called Giants' Luis Arraez and Robbie Rays trades their 'favorite' of deadline originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco Giants conducted a sell-off at this year's trade deadline, parting with Tyler Mahle, Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, Erik Miller, Caleb Kilian, and Heliot Ramos by the end of the MLB trade deadline.
All of those moves helped the Giants land some intriguing prospect hauls, but of those four deals, two stood out to one National League executive.
According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN, one NL exec called out the Arraez and Ray trades as their "favorite" deals of the deadline, thanks to the pitching prospects the Giants got in those two deals.
"I really liked what the Giants did to get Ramon Marquez and Miguel Mendez in their two deals and build up legitimate starting pitching depth in their system," an NL exec said.

Chidi Njokuani will compete at UFC 330 after all.
On Wednesday, the promotion announced via social media that Joel Alvarez is set to step in on short notice to face Njokuani at UFC 330 in Philadelphia. The event takes place Aug. 15 at Xfinity Mobile Arena and streams exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S.
Alvaro Colmenero first reported the matchup via Twitter.
Alvarez steps in for Geoff Neal who was forced to withdraw from the bout. After a 7-2 run at lightweight that — including seven finishes — Alvarez made the move up to the welterweight division, winning his 170-pound debut via decision against Vicente Luque at UFC Rio this past October. "El Fenomeno" would have a rough go in his sophomore welterweight appearance as he was dominated and stopped by former Bellator champ Yaroslav Amosov at UFC 328 in May.
Njokuani remains on the card in hopes of snapping a two-fight skid, including a 69-second submission loss to Jake Matthews at UFC Nashville in July 2025, and a unanimous decision loss to Carlos Leal at February's UFC Houston event.

Ruben Amorim outlines where he saw 'improvements' in Milan's 1-1 draw with Inter, warning they need to 'keep more possession,' and treating Rafael Leao 'the same way' as others.
The Rossoneri had gone behind in Perth to a Federico Dimarco goal, with Pervis Estupinan struggling to deal with defending down their left flank.
Christopher Nkunku drew contact with Carlos Augusto and converted the soft penalty to equalise, sealing the 1-1 result of this unusual Australian Derby della Madonnina.

Yankees receive 'fans are still upset' trade deadline award from ESPN originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Yankees added two new players to their lineup at the trade deadline.
First baseman Luis Garcia Jr. and outfielder Heliot Ramos should help New York's offense while Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton are injured.
"One of our first areas of need was to try to upgrade the offense in any way, shape or form while waiting for important players to come back off the IL," general manager Brian Cashman told reporters. "Ramos crushes left-handed pitching, García crushes right-handed pitching ... [manager] Aaron Boone has a better chance to match up than he did yesterday."
What Cashman said about the Yankees' new acquisitions is accurate. Manager Aaron Boone's lineup is much better with those two players.

Giants prospects 2026: What to know about Ramon Marquez, Henry Lalane, more after Luis Arraez, Heliot Ramos trades originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The San Francisco Giants were expected to be clear sellers at this year's trade deadline, and they did just that with a slew of trades throughout deadline day.
Their first notable move was shipping Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Philadelphia Phillies. Later, the Giants traded Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees, Erik Miller to the Boston Red Sox, and Robbie Ray to the San Diego Padres.
After all four of those big trades, who did the Giants get in return? Ramon Marquez and Henry Lalane are two big names, but they hardly scratch the surface of what's coming the Giants' way this summer after their deadline deals.
The first trade worth diving into is the Arraez deal. In exchange for Arraez and Kilian, the Phillies sent Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair, two right-handed pitchers, to the Giants.

The San Francisco Giants did the inevitable and got rid of multiple players in a fire sale during MLB's trade deadline in hopes of salvaging the remainder of the season with a focus on next year.
Six players were shipped out of San Francisco and on to different teams. Those players included Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves, Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Philadelphia Phillies, Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees, Robbie Ray to the San Diego Padres, and Erik Miller to the Boston Red Sox.
In return, the Giants got back a couple right-handed pitchers, Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair, from the Phillies. The Padres sent right-hand pitcher Miguel Mendez and infielder Joniel Hernandez to the Bay Area. The Yankees sent back left-hand pitcher Henry Lalane and shortstop Kaeden Kent, son of Giants legend and Hall of Famer Jeff Kent. San Francisco got infielder Marcelo Mayer from Boston. While Anthony Molina, who they immediately ******* igned to their Triple-A affiliate, Sacramento River Cats, came via trade with the Braves.
Notable players that remain on the roster are Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers and Willy Adames. Their names were floated around the trade rumor mill but ultimately stay put in San Francisco.
Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey appeared on Bay Area sports radio station 95.7 FM "The Game" to provide insight and feedback on his approach at the trade deadline and moving forward.

The New York Yankees are promoting shortstop George Lombard Jr., the top prospect in the organization and a consensus Top-100 prospect in all of MLB, from Triple-A to make his major league debut according to multiple reports Aug. 3.
Jack Curry reported the promotion first on the YES Network.
The report follows the Yankees' loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, and the debut of Luis Garcia Jr. — one of two players, along with San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos — that they acquired before the MLB trade deadline earlier in the day.

"He'll be the starting shortstop for the Yankees," Curry said. "They feel Lombard Jr. will handle everything he needs to handle defensively, and we will see what he's able to give the Yankees offensively."

ARLINGTON, Texas — If Heliot Ramos' All-Star appearance at this very ballpark two years ago didn't cement his status as one of the Giants' biggest recent homegrown success stories, then his second straight Opening Day start this year should have left little doubt.
Ramos became the franchise's first left fielder to do so since Barry Bonds two decades earlier.
Just over four months later, Ramos looked at one of the televisions in the visitors' clubhouse at Globe Life Park and couldn't believe what he saw along with his name on the screen.

The 2026 Trade Deadline has officially come and gone, and it's time for the immediate breakdown of the state of the Yankees following it. It's fair to say that most weren't projecting a flashy deadline for New York with a big-name blockbuster or anything of that sort, but it still comes as a surprise that at the end of the day they made only three moves: they traded Camilo Doval away to Pittsburgh, and then added Luis García Jr. alongside Heliot Ramos to bolster their lineup and provide some depth to the outfield while two of their stars are on the shelf.
Let's start with what they did accomplish before we get into what they failed to get. García is a legit A-plus addition offensively, leading the National League in slugging and coming in just behind Ben Rice for third overall across MLB. They also managed to pry him away from Washington for a basket of arms that they likely didn't have plans for this season and possibly even next, sending off their 14th-rated prospect Jack Cebert and their 25th-ranked prospect Ben Grable by MLB Pipeline's scouting, alongside Yovanny Cruz and Jake Bird. Cruz impressed in Triple-A this season and got a couple brief stints with the major league team but never seemed to be in the plans for a postseason bullpen, while Bird actively worked his way off the roster two years in a row after getting acquired at the deadline last season. Overall, that's a more than acceptable package to surrender in exchange for a bat that can mash against righties and bring some protection to Rice's spot in the order.
View Link
García's defensive fit is a bit more murky, as he's a first baseman when the team already has Rice and Paul Goldschmidt working there. Goldschmidt, for all his early-season success, is still meant to be a backup for this team, and it looks as though he'll cede playing time to García at first while Rice will primarily play as the designated hitter.
What that group looks like once Giancarlo Stanton is back in the fold, who knows, but the Yankees can't plan on Stanton just sliding back in after missing most of the season and needing a bat in the worst way to stay afloat here and now. The Yankees will have García for the 2027 season as well, ****** uming there will be one amidst CBA negotiations and the very real threat of a lengthy lockout.

NEW YORK (AP) — General manager Brian Cashman said the Yankees had conversations with the Detroit Tigers about Tarik Skubal and the Baltimore Orioles about Adley Rutschman but could not find a match before Monday's trade deadline.
Instead, the Yankees found other ways to bolster their roster, adding outfielder Heliot Ramos in a three-player trade from the last-place San Francisco Giants a day after acquiring left-handed hitting Luis Garcia Jr. from the Washington Nationals for four pitchers.
Skubal went to the Dodgers on Sunday in a blockbuster for three prospects and Rutschman was sent to the Red Sox for a package that included three of Boston's top prospects earlier Monday.
"We had many conversation with Baltimore but were unable to obviously meet the price," Cashman said in a video conference after the trade deadline passed. "So they did their business elsewhere and we kept grinding through it, but ultimately in the end of the day, there was no opportunity that existed that we felt good enough about to be able to push through on."
The Yankees had less of a need for Skubal since their rotation began Monday with a 3.46 ERA, but their catchers entered the series opener against the Cardinals hitting .188 with eight homers and 27 RBIs, 28th amongst the 30 teams.

Ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, New York made a few moves to upgrade its offense and reshuffle its bullpen. Whether those moves will be enough depends on how the new additions play down the stretch, as the Yankees fight for the AL East crown.
