As reporters awaited the trade deadline on the field at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, Harrison Bader walked by.The centerfielder, an impending free agent and rumored trade chip held out of the evening’s lineup, smiled and said hello. 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...
