Oakland A’s – The Yankees acquired Frankie Montas and closer Lou Trivino in a deal with the A’s on Monday afternoon. Obviously, Montas is the big acquisition here, but the Monkey’s concerns are more about who handles the 9th for the A’s now — and we think it’s likely a mix of Zach Jackson and AJ Puk. Dany Jimenez is due back soon, as well.
Updated hierarchy: *Jackson | Puk | Acevedo.
* = closer-by-committee
