New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman had some more bad news for his fan base about superstar Aaron Judge prior to Opening Day on Friday

Cashman had suspected that the Houston Astros had been breaking rules against electronic sign stealing long before Commissioner Rob Manfred released his report in January that resulted in three big league managers losing their jobs. "I'll acknowlege at that we had many a conversion with Major League Baseball the last number of years about suspicions, but having suspicions and being able to prove it are two different things," Cashman said Friday, Feb. 14, 2020.

Luis Castillo will not be a member of the Yankees this season, after all.

After weeks of New York being linked to the Reds ace, it was announced yesterday that the Mariners have surprisingly acquired Castillo ahead of the Trade Deadline.

So, where do the Yankees turn now?

They’re clearly still in the ‘buyers’ market for starting pitching. And according to Jon Heyman of the NY Post, the Yanks are now turning their attention to A’s pitcher Frankie Montas.

While Frankie Montas might not be as hot of a commodity as Luis Castillo, he’s pretty damn close.

Thanks to being a part of the lowly A’s, Montas has not accumulated too many wins over the first half of the season, but his 3.18 ERA and 108 strikeouts are enough to make any potential team excited.

Sure, Yankees fans might be upset about the Luis Castillo news. But luckily, there are plenty of other options out there, including Frankie Montas.
