The deal, which was officially announced by both teams, also includes a player to be named later or cash considerations going to the Yankees, on the policeman Bader’s playing time as it relates to plantar fasciitis he’s closing in for the time being.
Montgomery, 29, is a big addition to the Cardinals’ rotation. The left-winger, a fourth-round draft pick for the University of South Carolina Yankees in 2014, finished sixth in this year’s AL Rookie with a good debut in 2017, but saw his career derailed by Tommy John’s surgery in the following season. Since 2021, he’s settled as a dependable member of the Yankees’ rotation, posting 3.77 ERAs in 272 innings across 51 starts. While Montgomery’s strike rate has declined this year, so has his gait rate, continuing to maintain his age south at 4.00.
Montgomery is earning a reasonable $6 million this year and is set to receive a raise through arbitration in 2023 before he becomes eligible for free agency. He didn’t necessarily think it was available, but the Yankees just added in Frankie Montas To the front of their turn to trade with A’s.

Presently, the Cardinals sit three games at NL Central and come back once from a wild card spot. In addition to Quintana and Montgomery, the Cardinals also added Chris Stratton for their bull by trade. The club has reportedly expressed interest in several starters prior to landing at Montgomery, including Frankie MontasAnd the Jake OdoreseAnd the Tyler MahleyAnd the Carlos Rodon. Bader developed plantar fasciitis in his right foot in late June, with Dylan Carlson Starting at the center of the field in his absence. Bader is currently in walking shoes due to an injury. The Cardinals clearly felt Carlson could handle the party for at least the remainder of the season.

Bader, 28, was born in Bronxville, New York, about 11 miles from Yankee Stadium. He’s been the Cardinals’ primary quarterback since 2018, when he finished sixth in the NL Rookie of the Year vote. Badr was famous for his defense, and he won his first golden glove last year and finished second in the Fielding gives the Bible the vote.

Badr time and Giancarlo Stanton They are healthy, Hex characters to reduce his playing time. The Yankees recently added a new left-handed player via trade, picking him up Andrew Benintende From the royal family.
Like Montgomery, Bader is under control until 2023. However, due to a two-year extension signed in April, Bader’s salary is booked at $4.7 million for both the 2022 and 23 seasons, plus performance bonuses. The Yankees will cut several million dollars in pay next year compared to what Montgomery is expected to earn.
By parting with Montgomery, the Yankees weakened their rotation for the remainder of the 2021 season, apparently German Domingo In fifth place until Louis Severino able to return. With 12 games ahead in AL East, that difference doesn’t matter. Montgomery’s loss in the playoffs can be felt, especially if Severino is unable to rebuild a starting role, but it’s clear that the Yankees feel the eventual defensive upgrade in midfield is a net win. The decision sparked, at least, some “puzzle” within the Yankees, according to Eric Boland from Newsday.
