Bruce Douglas Bochy, manager of the Texas Rangers, has just been suspended after a secret about him was unveiled.
It is anticipated that Jordan Montgomery will sign, according to the story.
With the remaining time, Jordan Montgomery might sign a contract before Opening Day.
Jim Bowden of MLB Network gave an update on the situation involving free agent left-hander Montgomery on a Sunday radio show on SiriusXM Radio. He also mentioned that Montgomery is expected to sign a deal this week.
Bowden says there’s a market for Montgomery. “He’s probably going to sign this coming week.” It’s becoming more and more savage.
According to Bowden, Montgomery is now getting two “long-term offers,” though he did not specify which teams were making the proposals.
The 31-year-old Montgomery finished 10-11 with a 3.20 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in the previous campaign. He has continued to wait for a deal as other holdouts, like Blake Snell, JD Martinez, Cody Bellinger, and Matt Chapman, have signed shorter-term contracts. He was a member of the World Series-winning Texas Rangers team.
Montgomery appears to have the choice between multiple long-term offers, suggesting that his prolonged patience will pay off.
Which teams might be engaged is also easy to guess at, since we recently learned that Montgomery was back in talks with at least one prominent club.
