I really think they expected Yimi to be back after the deadline. The problem is, at his age, elbow inflammation is a serious issue and they probably should have expected the worst instead of the best.
Yimi was the glue that held things together in the bullpen and would have been perfect for last night.
ETA: the other issue - I’m sure teams were asking for Yesavage or Nimmala in a deal for a guy like Duran. Pretty glad we kept Yesavage at this point.
