[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1792757, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-montgomery-trade-montas-injury-undermine-yankees-title-bid/article_5b490068-0717-5f31-8348-b2afe2d914c8.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Jeff%20Gordon']Jeff Gordon[/URL] Starting pitcher Frankie Montas was one of the hottest trade commodities ahead of the deadline. The Oakland A’s held out for a premium acquisition price, one the Cardinals declined to meet. The Yankees spent young pitchers JP Sears, Ken Waldichuk and Luis Medina, plus second baseman Cooper Bowman, to get Montas and reliever Lou Trevino. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman would love to get at least a partial refund on that purchase. And the Cardinals are glad they took a pass on Montas and acquired Jordan Montgomery and Jose Quintana instead. Montas never fully recovered from the shoulder soreness he suffered before the trade -- and now he’s back on the injured list as the postseason nears. In eight starts for the Yankees, Montas is 1-3 with a 6.35 ERA. He landed back on the 15-day IL after getting another cortisone shot in his shoulder. The Yankees have shut him down for 10 days and manager Aaron Boone isn’t sure what role, if any, Montas will have with the team once the playoffs start. “It might be hard to get his pitch count back up, but I think it’s certainly possible he can be in play for us,” Boone said. “Hopefully this next week or 10 days goes well and we can start ramping him up, but we’ve got to get there.” Montas, who admitted that he “rushed a little bit” during his previous comeback, doesn’t believe his season is over.
