The New York Yankees have been navigating a series of trades over the last two off-seasons, and one that stands out as particularly precarious was the deal executed at the deadline last year.

In this transaction, the Yankees traded left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery to the St. Louis Cardinals. However, Montgomery’s journey didn’t end there, as he was subsequently moved to the Texas Rangers in early August, marking his second trade within a short span of time.
