The Frankie Montas trade is a disaster for the Yankees.
Since the 2019 season ended, the Yankees have lost Garrett Whitlock in the Rule 5 draft; have traded Roansy Contreras and Glenn Otto; and have dealt starters Jordan Montgomery, Hayden Wesneski, T.J. Sikkema, Beck Way, Luis Medina, J.P. Sears and Ken Waldichuk at the 2022 deadline for Harrison Bader, Scott Effross, Andrew Benintendi, Lou Trivino and Montas.
“We have a strong frontline and then obviously the next wave isn’t as strong as it has been in the past,” general manager Brian Cashman said. “We need what we currently have to stay active and over the course of time, some alternative depth options might present themselves.” The Yankees have become excellent at run prevention — both by refining pitchers’ repertoires and putting a strong defense behind them. No one at this time last year envisioned Cortes as an All-Star or Sears as useful depth. So maybe Matt Krook or Randy Vasquez will surprise; or maybe Deivi Garcia will make the one-time comparisons to Pedro Martinez less laughable.
Could the Yankees use Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Gleyber Torres or both to land starting pitching depth? Those two would become more available if the Yankees believe Oswald Peraza and Anthony Volpe are major league ready now. The Yankees talked regularly with the Reds at the deadline last year about Luis Castillo, with Cincinnati interested in Peraza and Volpe.
