DESPERATE YANKEES WILL TRY & REUNITE WITH THE GUY THEY NEVER SHOULD'VE TRADED

I've never moved on from the Jordan Montgomery trade. I hated it from the moment it happened. I screamed in frustration and called Brian Cashman every possible obscenity I could think of. It was a stupid move right when it happened, and now after some time has passed, I call it an epic failure.

I know a lot of people really liked Harrison Bader, some even told me he was a favorite of theirs. I never really felt the same. I didn't dislike the guy early on and I don't now but in the end, I ALWAYS want to keep a reliable pitcher, because those are in short supply and add that the Yankees have a terrible injury history it just felt like an irresponsible move. Now that Bader is also gone, the whole chain of events is just embarrassing. 

But can the Yankees make amends? They sure hope so. While we wait to see who becomes the World Series Champion, the Yankees are waiting for the offseason, and thinking about a possible reunion with Montgomery, read more HERE. Likewise, the Cardinals want to reunite with Montgomery also after being one of very few teams to become sellers at this year's trade deadline. I can't imagine what the Yankees have to possibly lure Montgomery back.

I love a lefty pitcher; they can be a dangerous weapon in a rotation. I think Montgomery has come into his own over the past year, he blossomed away from the Yankees where he pitched to a 3.20 ERA in 32 starts. After six years of Yankee tinkering, he evolved as a Cardinal. So, why would he want to come back? 

The Yankees are in a downward spiral of chaos, so I'm not sure why. They are in the middle of an identity crisis because they are supposedly built to win but yet they can't. We all know they haven't because the Yankees are so buried in bad analytics and a GM that just doesn't know how to build a winning team. Aaron Boone is a moron who can't lead, and the medical teams are just pretenders. If I am Jordan Montgomery, I would stay far away from the Bronx and I would tell my agent to laugh hysterically when the Yankees call.

I believe getting rid of Montgomery was a huge mistake. When we did, he turned into the pitcher the Yankees now want back. He thrived away from the Yankees. He shouldn't want to come back. I shouldn't be saying that he shouldn't come back because deep down I would love that.... but the Yankees don't deserve Montgomery. 

I think this season has traumatized me. The Yankees want Montgomery back, they know they screwed up. Montgomery shouldn't miss the Yankees....I will miss him though. He never should've been traded. Maybe this is a lesson the Yankees will need to learn the hard way. They have to change their ways.

Now we get to watch Montgomery pitch in the American League Championship Series and wonder what comes next. Will he reunite with the Yankees this winter? Maybe, but I am not going to hold my breath.
