Around the Empire: Yankees news - 10/15/23

SNY | Phillip Martínez: The Yankees acquired Frankie Montas before last year’s trade deadline to bolster their rotation. Shoulder injuries completely derailed his stint with the team and limited him to 39.2 innings of a 6.35 ERA in 2022 and 1.1 frames in the final weekend of the 2023 campaign.

Montas is now scheduled to hit free agency, and Martínez examines reasons to re-sign him and to let him to. He reaches the conclusion that “with his shoulder seemingly healthy and if the Yanks can bring him back on a team-friendly deal, the Montas experiment is worth trying again in 2024.
