MLB trade deadline 2022: Yankees acquire Frankie Montas, Lou Trivino from A's

The New York Yankees are the best team in baseball, but even the best have to make some moves to stay that way. The team acquired two pitchers from the Oakland A's.

The New York Yankees made a move to bolster their pitching staff and their bullpen on Monday ahead of the trade deadline.

The Yankees acquired right-handed pitchers Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino from the Oakland Athletics for left-handed pitchers J.P. Sears and Kevin Waldichuk, right-handed pitcher Luis Medina and infielder Cooper Bowman.

Montas, 29, was in his sixth season with Oakland. In 19 starts this season, he had a 3.18 ERA with 109 strikeouts. He earned American League Cy Young award votes last season, finishing in sixth place for the award.

Oakland received a handful of solid young players in return.

Sears, 26, made his debut with the Yankees this year. In seven games, he had a 2.05 ERA in those games. He appeared in 11 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Waldichuk, 24, made 17 starts between Scranton/Wilkes Barre and Double-A Somerset this season. 

Medina, 23, has been in the minor leagues for about six seasons. He’s played mostly for Somerset this season, recording a 3.38 ERA and 81 strikeouts. Bowman, the only batter in the deal, was a fourth-round pick in the 2021 draft. He played at Single-A Hudson Valley this season and batted .217 with eight homers.

The Yankees entered Monday 69-34 — the best record in baseball. Oakland was 39-65 and sitting in last place in the American League West division.
