CASHMAN & THE YANKEES ADD ANOTHER LEMON TO THE CUT LIST


I think the Yankees need to do an internal investigation into what the hell happened when the Yankees acquired Frankie Montas "Pending Physical". Because we all know what happened next.  Montas came to the Yankees and said that he has shoulder discomfort but was trying to work through it and the next thing we know he was shut down, forced to have surgery and the Yankees paid a guy for not being trustworthy and a lemon.  

How does a medical staff miss an injury like this, why can't we fine a guy like Montas for not being truthful and who the hell should get fired for that in the Yankees organization? Serious questions. 

What a waste of time and money.  Once again, another lemon sought out by Brian Cashman. Disgraceful.  It makes sense, right?  This is the direction this season has gone the entire year. Injury, gaslighting, bad managing, horrible offense and terrible acquisitions.  All we need now is for the Yankees to sign Horace Clarke's grandson and we'll be on our way to the bleak years after Mantle's demise once again.  All of it... pathetic.

If you don't understand my unhappiness, just know that Frankie Montas is not going to pitch for the Yankees this year, and will never pitch for him ever again.  

NJ.com writes this on Montas:

"Montas had shoulder surgery in February and won’t pitch this season after the Yankees were hoping for an August return. His short Yankees career is over, too. Following this year’s World Series, the 30-year-old Dominican will be a free agent and there’s no chance the Yankees will want him back at any price.

The Yanks will cut their losses at the four ranked prospects they gave up, plus about $9.175 million in salary. Montas is making $7.5 million this year and the Yankees paid the final $1.67 million of his 2022 salary of $5.025 million."

And so yea, what a waste and who the hell found this guy to be a smart move?  Meanwhile we're throwing Harrison Bader on waivers.  There is no rhyme or reason to any of this. It's like there was a full moon the entire year in the Bronx.
