With playoff baseball only a week away, the movements of Brian Cashman at this year’s deadline have long been analyzed and documented to the smallest of details. From the decision to flip Jordan Montgomery, right after acquiring Frankie Montas, to the bullpen pickups of Lou Trivino and Scott Effross, much has been said, both positively and negatively, about the Yankees’ moves.
Montgomery looked like a new man at the beginning of his journey in the Midwest. Meanwhile, in the Bronx, Montas struggled to adjust to his new environment and recently went on the injured list indefinitely, with shoulder issues.
