The New York Yankees are expected to be aggressive buyers leading up to the MLB trade deadline.
However, that won't stop the Bombers from parting ways with a few players who don't fit into their puzzle.
In fact, that's exactly what happened this afternoon (Saturday), when the Pittsburgh Pirates acquired reliever Camilo Doval from the Bronx.
Trade news: The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring right-handed reliever Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees for two prospects, sources tell ESPN.

Doval has a 4.54 ERA and an average of 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings over 39 2/3 innings this season with the Yankees.
The 29-year-old has 109 career saves but hasn't served in that role for quite some time. Doval could, however, help the Pirates' bullpen as they aim for a playoff spot.
In return, New York acquires two prospects: catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz.
