He then asked, “Am I still on this team?” With roughly an hour to go before the 6 p.m. deadline, he then jogged away laughing at his joke.Meanwhile, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, another Yankee on an expiring deal, wondered how he would get his goldendoodle, Bella, to a new location in the event of a trade.“It’s part of the business,” the utilityman said, “but the outside stuff is the harder part.”But Bader, Kiner-Falefa and the rest of the Yankees’ major league roster stayed put. Brian Cashman failed to swing any earth-shattering deals, only acquiring right-handed relievers Keynan Middleton from the White Sox and Spencer Howard from the Rangers.While an argument could have been made for more aggressive buying, t...
