Jordan Montgomery News
Free-agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery is unlikely to re-sign with the Texas Rangers due to the fact the club lost a local television deal. The left-hander is certainly in heavy demand after dazzling during the 2023 campaign. Montgomery worked to a career-best 3.20 ERA across 32 starts between the St. Louis Cardinals and Rangers this past season and went on to post a 2.90 ERA across six appearances (five starts) for the Rangers in the postseason en route to a World Series championship. The 30-year-old has quietly been one of the more reliable starting pitchers in baseball since debuting in 2017, as he owns a career 3.68 ERA across 141 outings between the Yankees, Cardinals, and Rangers.
Starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery was a big piece of the Texas Rangers championship season, and they are hoping to bring him back for 2024 and beyond. With an ERA of 3.20 and an FIP of 3.56 in 2023 for the Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals, Montgomery should be on most teams' radar this offseason. The soon-to-be 31-year-old was a top-30 starting pitcher for fantasy purposes in 2022 and 2023, so he should be able to keep that pace for a couple more seasons at least. Montgomery has pitched at least 30 games in three straight seasons, and while his strikeout rate has decreased over that time, he's gotten better in the walk and ERA departments.
Free-agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery is garnering interest on the open market from the Boston Red Sox, who have discussed the left-hander with his representation at the general manager meetings. The 30-year-old is fresh off of a World Series championship with the Texas Rangers after the club acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals prior to the trade deadline. Montgomery had a healthy 2.79 ERA across 11 regular-season starts for the Rangers before posting a 2.32 ERA across 31 postseason frames en route to a World Series title. The Red Sox are in search of rotation help after finishing 21st with a 4.52 ERA from their starters in the 2023 campaign, while Montgomery has a strong track record as a reliable run-preventor who can handle plenty of innings on the heels of a 3.20 ERA across a career-high 188 2/3 innings this past season.

Left-hander Jordan Montgomery was the typical unsung success story brought up in the New York Yankees system that had some flourish but nothing too out of the ordinary. Once Montgomery was dealt at the trade deadline to the St Louis Cardinals, the pixie dust began to kick in. The 30-year-old twirled a 3.11 ERA with a 123 ERA+ across 11 starts as a Cardinal. He began to land more strikes and increased his strikeout per nine-inning mark to 8.6. Overall, the southpaw compiled an impressive 2022 campaign, where he molded a 1.09 WHIP with 158 strikeouts and a 21.8% punchout rate. His stuff isn't over the top, but Monty has a confident pep in his step that builds his character. Steamer projects Monty to compose a 3.68 ERA, 21.3% strikeout rate, and a 3.72 xFIP. Most notably, he's given a 169.04 ADP which is an ideal spot to snag him if you're inclined to do so.
