Acquire Athletics Montas & Trivino in trade
The Yankees have acquired pitchers Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino from the Athletics in a two-for-four exchange trade, according to several reports, including Jack Curry of local broadcaster YES Network. Four minor players, including pitcher JP Sears, will move to the Athletics.
Montas made his major league debut with the White Sox in 2015. He finished last season with a career-high 13 wins (9 losses) and an ERA of 3.37. He has lost 4 wins and 9 losses this season, which has greatly decreased his strength, but he was showing a stable pitch with an ERA of 3.18. Tribino pitched in 71 games last season, recording 7 wins, 8 losses, 22 saves and an ERA of 3.18. He has pitched in 39 games this season with 1 win, 6 losses and 10 saves, with a 6.47 ERA.
The Yankees have approached the Angels about trading Shohei Ohtani, but the Angels decided not to let him go, according to the New York Post. Following the trade acquisition of outfielder Andrew Benintendi, he is actively reinforcing to win the World Series for the first time in 13 years since 2009.
