The New York Yankees made a rather odd decision by trading left-hander Jordan Montgomery at the deadline. Considering he was relatively consistent for the team, aside from his last few starts, it was puzzling they shipped him off to the St. Louis Cardinals.

While the Yankees did replace him with another quality arm in Frankie Montas, many believed the Bronx Bombers to also add another starter like Pablo Lopez, who they were heavily linked to. But, as Ken Rosenthal points out, the Miami Marlins asking price was far too steep for Brian Cashman to budge.
