This leaves the Yankees with Marcus Stroman in their starting rotation, but some believe the Bronx Bombers are still going to try to trade Stroman this season.<\/p>\n<p>If they don&#8217;t want Stroman and Gil is on the sidelines, who will the Yankees fill out the rotation with?<\/p>\n<p>FanSided&#8217;s Rucker Haringey recently linked the Yankees to Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery as a replacement for Gil.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Yankees might see a lot of bounce-back potential in the crafty southpaw, though,&#8221; Haringey wrote. &#8220;The last season, other than 2024, that he pitched to an ERA of over 4.00 was all the way back in 2020. It&#8217;s conceivable that New York might be willing to give him a chance to rejuvenate his career in the Bronx.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That sort of deal will only happen if the Diamondbacks are willing to eat a huge portion of his salary. Montgomery is due $22.5 million, and the chances of him pitching well enough to justify that contract are slim. Even so, Montgomery has a higher upside than Stroman, which makes him an intriguing trade candidate if the finances work out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery is an intriguing option. If he can return to his old self from the 2021, 2022 and 2023 seasons, he would be a huge upgrade over Stroman. But if he pitches the way he did in 2024 again, he&#8217;s not worth a big league roster spot.<\/p>\n<p>Acquiring Montgomery wouldn&#8217;t be as high risk as you might think, though. For the Diamondbacks to trade him, they&#8217;d likely need to eat a large majority of his contract. If the Yankees can get off without paying him but a few million dollars, this deal makes a lot of sense.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read this article and more on NewsNow, the independent news discovery platform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":39948,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
