Frankie Montas News
The New York Yankees remain interested in re-signing right-hander Frankie Montas this offseason. The Yankees are very much in the starting pitching market this winter and are also eyeing Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto and free-agent left-hander Jordan Montgomery, among others. The Yankees acquired Montas from the Oakland Athletics in the second half of the 2022 season, but he made just eight starts for them that year and required arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The 30-year-old then managed to pitch in one game in relief in 2023. New York must think Montas has the potential to return to his 2021 form with better health, when he went 13-9 with a 3.37 ERA and career-high 207 strikeouts in 187 innings (32 starts).
New York Yankees pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Saturday. The right-hander has missed the entire season while recovering from shoulder surgery. He'll make his return on Saturday and is expected to work in relief at some point this weekend. The 30-year-old is set to become a free agent after the season. That being said, Montas will get a chance to show both the Yankees and possible other suitors what he has to offer over the final few games of the regular season.
New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) isn't being ruled out for a potential return to the team for the final week of the 2023 season. Montas has been on the 60-day injured list all year after shoulder surgery this spring, but he's been working hard to make an appearance before the season ends. He's made two starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the last week, including two scoreless innings and 25 total pitches on Saturday. It would be a positive step for Montas, but he's also set to become a free agent this winter and is unlikely to return to the Bronx in 2024. His acquisition from the Oakland Athletics last summer at the trade deadline will go down as one of the worst blockbuster deals in general manager Brian Cashman's tenure.

Oakland Athletics pitcher Frankie Montas had a career year in 2021, posting a 13-9 record, a 3.37 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, and a 207:57 K: BB over 187 innings. He also held an impressive 10.0 K/9, 14.1 swinging strike percentage, and his fastball averaged 96.4 MPH. Montas finished the season strong by being named the AL Pitcher of the Month in September. The 28-year-old has an elite splitter, which he used 33.6% of the time that helped improve his ERA from 4.72 (April-June) to 2.65 (July-August). His splitter had a whiff rate of 51.4% and put away 26.4% of hitters. Montas is expected to be drafted as a top-25 starter in upcoming 2022 fantasy baseball drafts. The A's right-hander will be second in Oakland's rotation after Chris Bassitt and look to build on his 2021 stellar performance. Steamer projections have Montas 179 innings pitched, 25.4K%, 7.4 BB%, 43.5 GB%, 3.71 ERA, and a 3.75 FIP. According to Rotoballer's Expected Draft Values, the A's ace is roughly fair value at his current NFBC ADP of 78.
