Yesterday, news broke that Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas would undergo shoulder surgery that could sideline him for the entirety of the 2023 MLB season. He was acquired to be a key part of the rotation via a trade with the Athletics at the deadline in 2022, but unfortunately for general manager Brian Cashman, it seems unlikely that he will reach that goal.
Despite Montas having a rough go of things with the Yankees after the trade, he still had talent, and many fans were looking forward to signs of potential improvement after more experience in the organization.
