Jordan Montgomery, according to various reports, will not re-sign with the New York Yankees. On the contrary, the left-hander generates interest from other organizations and Alex Cora, manager of the Boston Red Sox, revealed that his team is in negotiations with the left-hander.
The Red Sox and Montgomery met over the weekend to discuss the terms of a potential contract, according to MLB.com’s Ian Browne. He has just won the World Series with the Texas Rangers, being instrumental in the title.
Lucas Giolito, Nick Pivetta, Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford and Tanner Houck are the starters that Alex Cora has available for next season. Adding an arm like Montgomery’s would give the Boston team another status.
“We are working hard to achieve that“Cora said when asked about improving the team’s starting pitching, according to Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe. “If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. But we’ve been working hard all offseason. It’s not a lack of trying, I assure you. A lot of meetings; a lot of conversations.”
The left-hander has a market value of 18.4 million dollars per season, so a contract of at least 6 years would give him a deal for 110.4 million dollars, something that is in the plans of the Boston Red Sox, a team who has not invested much in the market.
