BREAKING: Jordan Montgomery Chooses Next Playing Destination

March 26, 2024 ,

The Arizona Diamondbacks have pulled off a surprise coup in the MLB free agency market, securing the services of left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery to a one-year deal worth $25 million.

This unexpected move comes in the wake of their starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez's left lat strain, which has left a void in their rotation for the foreseeable future.

Despite initial doubts surrounding the feasibility of striking a deal with Montgomery's agent, Scott Boras, the Diamondbacks demonstrated a strong interest in the talented southpaw.

Montgomery, who had once been poised to command a hefty contract earlier in the offseason, found himself lingering on the market, presenting an enticing opportunity for teams seeking pitching reinforcements.

Reports surfaced recently indicating ongoing discussions between the Diamondbacks and Montgomery's representatives, suggesting a shift in Arizona's pitching strategy as they sought to bolster their rotation depth.

The signing of Montgomery adds a significant piece to their pitching arsenal, alongside established talents like Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.

Montgomery's impressive track record, highlighted by a commendable 3.20 ERA across 32 starts last season, undoubtedly played a pivotal role in Arizona's pursuit.

The Diamondbacks' willingness to outbid competitors and secure Montgomery's services reflects their commitment to competing in the fiercely contested NL West division race.

With Montgomery now in the fold on a one-year deal, with a vesting option for $25 million in 2025, the Diamondbacks have made a bold statement about their ambitions for the upcoming season as they look to return to the World Series. Photo Credit: Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
