The New York Yankees received a significant boost on Sunday without making a single move. A blockbuster trade in the American League East has shifted the balance of power, giving the Yankees a clearer path to dominance in their division.

Aaron Judge is coming off his worst series of a season in which he has flirted with a .400 average, but the New York Yankees are not concerned. Instead, New York's focus is centered on avoiding a season-high fourth straight loss Monday night when they host the Los Angeles Angels for the opener of a four-game series.

According to YES Network, it’s been 103 years since the Yankees were held to four runs or fewer across a three-game series against Boston. Not since 1922 had they looked this flat in a full series against the Sox. The Yankees' four runs matched their fewest in a three-game series at Fenway Park, from June 20-22, 1916, and from Sept. 28-30, 1922.
