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.
