Pitching,Free-Agent Class,Jordan Montgomery

The top arms in the pitching-heavy free-agent class have been gradually signed, leaving only Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell as the remaining top pitchers. Both pitchers had impressive seasons and are represented by Scott Boras.

And then there were two. What was once a pitching-heavy free-agent class is now an increasingly barren cupboard. The top arms have been gradually plucked away, one by one. The Aaron Nolas, Yoshinobu Yamamotos and Sonny Grays are off the board, as are the Kenta Maedas, Michael Wachas and Nick Martinezes (Nick Martini?). All that remains at the tippity top are Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell .

Both pitchers are coming off phenomenal platform seasons, both are 31 years old and throw with their incorrect hand, and both are represented by Scott Boras, the game's most notorious agent. Montgomery elevated his game in 2023 after a deadline trade from St. Louis to Texas. In eight of his 11 regular-season starts for the Rangers, the burly lefty from South Carolina hucked at least six innings and allowed two runs or fewer. A magnificent seven-inning, no-run performance against Tampa in Game 1 of the wild-card round got Texas rolling toward its first championship in franchise histor
