This whole exercise is always stupid and always used as a way to ridicule the Yankees.
Players move around all the time.
Sonny Gray, Aaron Hicks, Joey Gallo, Josh Donaldson, and many other ex-Yankees are in the playoffs.
Oh, and Nathan Eovaldi.
Who has also previously played for the Red Sox, the Rays, the Marlins, and the Dodgers.
Who cares?
Tell me that Jordan Montgomery would have somehow saved the Yankees vs. the Astros in last year's ALCS, then I would concede it was a horrible trade.
Bader had a 1.271 OPS in that series. The Yankees were still swept, so it was good for nothing.
The Cardinals missed the playoffs in 2023, traded Bader for Montgomery in 2022, and then dumped Montgomery for nothing.
No one in St. Louis is giving it a second thought.
