The trade market got busy ahead of Tuesday\u0027s deadline, with the Yankees acquiring pitcher Frankie Montas from Oakland for four prospects.
World Series champion Atlanta brought back infielder Ehire Adrianza from Washington, the Yankees got reliever Scott Effross from the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox obtained left-hander Jake Diekman from Boston.
Montas is 4-9 with a 3.18 ERA in 19 starts, including a 2.76 ERA since the start of May. He has 109 strikeouts and 28 walks in 104 2/3 innings.tap here to see other videos from our team“His level of talent, especially with how he’s pitched the last couple years, just excited to get him in the mix,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “He’s got the full arsenal and stuff you look for in a top-of-the-rotation guy. Gone out and proved last couple years he is that kind of caliber pitcher.
“Josh Hader is one of the best closers in the league,” Padres general manager A.J. Preller said. “He’s been there, done that, pitched in big spots, big playoff games. He’s got elite stuff.” The AL West-leading Astros were in the market for a first baseman with Yuli Gurriel struggling. The 30-year-old Mancini, a fan favorite and cancer survivor, is hitting .268 with 10 homers and 41 RBIs in 92 games.
