Hal sucks
Trivino is awful. Hate to lose waldichuck and sears but you gotta give to get. Hopefully Montas' shoulder is ok.Originally Posted by jacksonianmarch
Cue moon and bellhop cheering that the Yanks "gutted their system" as their team wallows in the cellar and their farm isn't all that exciting.....
Thing is Sox had to sacrifice the farm for 4 rings in the last 20 years.
It will be restored.
Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz & Boston Red Sox
Some good pitching gets for the Yanks.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
They didn’t gut their system at all, that’s the crazy thing.
Trivino has a better xFIP this year than he did last year. His babip is .451 and his HR/FB rate is 20%. He’s got top end stuff. He’s got experience. He’s a guy you let steep in the middle innings to see if he finds himself.
Montas is a true front of the rotation pitcher who I have my concerns about. Mostly due to his prior place of residence and how you can pitch pretty aggressively in the coliseum. Not so much in Yankee stadium.
In terms of who we gave up….
Sears was our 17th ranked prospect coming into the season who really blossomed into a strike throwing starter who will likely slot directly into Montas’ spot. Waldichuk is the best prospect here and will also likely slide into a starter’s role. Waldichuk doesn’t throw strikes as well as Sears, though, and May end up a multi inning weapon out of the pen. Medina was an obvious trade candidate this year since he’s out of options in 2023 and has been only reasonably good in AA. Bowman is a project with lots of swing and miss but speed for days, developing power and the hands to stay at 2b.
Overall, the Yanks had to go for it. They kept their top 2 prospects and they still added one legit pen arm, another legit historically guy having a weird season in Trivino and a front of the rotation starter in Montas
The Red Sox traded Montas back in 2013 as part of the deadline deal for Jake Peavy.

Maybe.
Or not......
Yanks have succeeded in drafting and developing pitching, especially in the middle rounds. Wesneski was a 6th rounder. Waldichuk was a 5th rounder. Montgomery a 4th.
I disagree, he is what the back of baseball card says he is, a struggling bullpen arm with a career ERA north of 4.00 and a career WHIP of 1.34
He’s had three excellent seasons and two stinkers. He’s a good buy low candidate
His BABIPA is over .450. That’s just fluky and unsustainable, even if Oakland’s defense is horrible…
We didn't exactly "buy low".
We bought him low. If he was pitching like he was in 2021, no way we get him
K/9 is up.
B/9 is down
Fastball velocity is equal.
FIP roughly equal
He has allowed a couple more home runs, but other than that he is pitching better than in 2021. But the team behind him appears to be substantially worse defensively (which was to be expected when they dealt Chapman and Olson).
If a pitcher’s biggest weakness is his teammates’ play, he is a very good get…

He was a salary dump by the A's, we didn't buy low.
