Just over a week ago, the Yankees were well stocked with starting pitching depth.
After a flurry of trades ahead of the deadline this past Tuesday, though, that depth is more tenuous as the Yankees head into the final two months of the season. , general manager Brian Cashman dealt away JP Sears, Ken Waldichuk, Hayden Wesneski and Luis Medina in deals for right-hander Frankie Montas and relievers Lou Trivino and Scott Effross.
Trivino started his Yankees tenure with back-to-back perfect outings on Tuesday and Wednesday, combining for 1 ²/₃ innings against the Mariners. The righty reliever was hoping that a change of scene, and a little better luck, could help improve the career-high 6.47 ERA he had posted in 39 games this season with the Athletics.
“I feel like a lot of that’s weak contact and sometimes baseball is just a very cruel game,” Trivino said. “But I feel really good and I feel like I can contribute to this team … It’s nice to get a fresh set of eyes. I’m excited to see what they have [in store] for me.”
