The Yankees sent lefty Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Harrison Bader and a player to be named later or cash.
“The biggest part of it is just kind of that sadness of seeing a guy [leave] that you love and that you’ve been through a lot with and that’s done a lot for this team and organization,” manager Aaron Boone said after an. “Coming out of nowhere today where that happens, it’s hard delivering that news and saying goodbye.”
Instead, the Yankees will move forward with a rotation of Gerrit Cole, Montas, Jameson Taillon, Nestor Cortes and Domingo German before hoping that a healthy Luis Severino joins them in mid-September. They also have another option in Clarke Schmidt at Triple-A, though they gutted much of their starting depth beyond that in trades over the last few days.
“This is my family. This is all I know,” said Montgomery, who had a 3.69 ERA through 21 starts this season. “I still don’t really think I ever performed the way I should have here. I’m a lot better player than I’ve ever shown to the fans. But I think I was consistent, and I gave the team a chance to win.”
But they’ll have to wait on Bader, whom Cashman called “one of the elite center field defenders in the game.” His presence will allow the Yankees to play Aaron Judge more consistently in right field. The 28-year-old Bader, a Bronxville native who won a Gold Glove in 2021, was batting .256/.303/.370 with 15 steals in 72 games this year.
