Will the former St. Louis Cardinals hurler get traded this winter?
As the 2024 Major League Baseball season winds down, there surely will be a plethora of free agent and trade rumors and speculation. It's a little too early to make any concrete predictions, but Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer put together a list of each team's most likely trade candidates and had former"The D-backs' $25 million investment in Montgomery yielded a 6.23 ERA this season, so one can hardly blame Kendrick for his saltiness," Rymer said.
"The D-backs would presumably have to eat some of his 2025 salary to facilitate a deal, but likely not the entire sum...Potential Fits: Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets." The fact that Rymer mentioned the Rangers for Montgomery is very interesting. St. Louis traded Montgomery to the Rangers in 2023, and he helped lead them to the World Series that season. It seemed like he wanted to return to Texas this past offseason, but things didn't end up working out.
He signed with the Diamondbacks on a short-term deal and struggled. Could the Rangers look to bring him back? Texas has some decisions to make and could lose some pitchers this winter, including Nathan Eovaldi. Maybe it would make sense to bring Montgomery back.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
