The New York Yankees acquired Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs as well as Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino from the Oakland A’s. The two deals reconfigure their pitching staff on the major and minor league levels.
Incoming
Frankie Montas- Along with Luis Castillo and (potentially) Carlos Rodón, Montas is one of the best starting pitchers on the trade market this year. He’s 29 years old and under team control through the 2023 season. He has overcome a myriad of arm injuries earlier in his career and has become one of baseball’s most durable, effective starters over the past few seasons.
