Yahoo! Sports | Zach Crizer: The trade deadline has come and gone, and so now it’s time to turn to every teacher’s least favorite activity, which also happens to be every sports writer’s favorite one: grading! After yesterday’s strange sequence of events, the Yankees unsurprisingly receive a middling report card, as the high grades for the acquisitions of Andrew Benintendi and Frankie Montas are counterbalanced by low ones for the decision to flip Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals for Harrison Bader. Of course, as we know, these grades mean absolutely nothing — last year’s trade for Joey Gallo was almost universally beloved, after all, and we saw how that played out — but it’s still interesting to see what the vibe is out there.
