Red sox picther has been confirmed…..
Prior to Opening Day, the Boston Red Sox potentially need to bolster their pitching staff, and there is still an ideal fit in free agency.
Since the beginning of the offseason, Jordan Montgomery and the Red Sox have been connected numerous times. Nevertheless, the 31-year-old could soon have a few options available to him. Since spring training began, four new teams have contacted Scott Boras regarding Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, according to Boras, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale revealed on the last day of the week.
While the Red Sox have been strongly associated with Montgomery during the offseason, Boston would be adversely affected if other teams were to become involved.
The Red Sox will probably be the first team to give up if there is a bidding war for Montgomery because we already know Boston is not willing to spend substantially this offseason.
These new teams that are apparently fascinated in the southpaw could be prepared to move swiftly to get the reigning defending World Series Champion, as Montgomery is also supposedly becoming increasingly irritated with Boras.
It wouldn’t be shocking if Montgomery signed with a member of the four aforementioned mystery teams as soon as possible given that the regular season is quickly approaching.
Although Montgomery’s price reduction seems like a good thing for the cost-conscious Red Sox, that is not the reality. Both the southpaw’s number of suitors and average annual worth will increase if he accepts a new contract.
Unless there are several breakout seasons by young players, Montgomery would be better served spending the rest of the season’s playing time on a contender, which the Red Sox are by no means.
Inaction has been a distressing aspect of the Boston Red Sox’s poor offseason. Good things may come to those who wait, as demonstrated by free agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery.
According to Bob Nightengale on Sunday, Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants are the leading contenders for free-agent left-hander Blake Snell. MLB team officials “widely believe” that Montgomery would “wind up with the Red Sox” in free agency.
“The teammates have remained in regular communication with Montgomery was while the other teams are keeping surveillance if the business owner Ray Davis impulsively improvements his mind,” said Nightenga
