Mike Montgomery News
Free-agent left-hander Mike Montgomery signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets on Tuesday, pending a physical, according to a source. Montgomery spent last season in Korea and had a 5.26 ERA while also getting suspended 20 games for throwing a rosin bag at an umpire. The 32-year-old southpaw pitched in only three games (5 1/3 innings) for the Kansas City Royals in the shortened 2020 season and had a 5.06 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. In 541 career major league innings over six seasons, Montgomery has a 3.84 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 6.9 K/9 in 183 appearances (70 starts). He'll serve as pitching depth in the Mets system in 2022 and isn't worth a look at all in fantasy.
New York Yankees left-hander Mike Montgomery is planning to opt out of his contract with the team on June 1, according to Robert Murray of Fansided. Murray added that he believes Montgomery is looking for a major-league opportunity as he's spent the entire 2021 season in the minors. He's posted a disappointing 7.56 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, and 16:9 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings (four starts) at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He has a chance to latch on to a needy team as a back-end starter or long reliever but won't hold any fantasy value if/when that happens.
The New York Mets' relief corps continues to grow by the day heading into the start of Spring Training next week. On Sunday, the team inked veteran left-hander Mike Montgomery and right-hander Tommy Hunter to Minor League deals with invites to big league camp. Montgomery pitched in just three games last year for Kansas City, and has been used as a swingman throughout his career, best known for recording the final out of the 2016 World Series. Hunter made 24 appearances in 2020 with the Phillies, amassing a 4.01 ERA and 1.14 WHIP. An additional spot on the Opening Day roster figures to have been opened by Seth Lugo's (elbow) injury, although neither Montgomery nor Hunter is on track to make an immediate impact in the overwhelming majority of season-long fantasy formats.
