Jordan Montgomery Says Scott Boras \'Butchered\' Free Agency 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Aug 26, 2024 11:50 am

Jordan Montgomery has had a disappointing season for the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the pitcher hit a new low when it was announced that he\'d be moving to the bullpen.

Montgomery signed a one-year, $25 million deal with Arizona this past offseason.

The pitcher remained unsigned until late March, along with fellow Scott Boras clients Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, and Blake Snell. Montgomery fired Boras soon after signing with the Diamondbacks.

\"I had a Zoom call with (the Boston Red Sox during free agency). That\'s really all I know. It went good,\" Montgomery told the Boston Herald. \"I don\'t know. Obviously Boras kind of butchered it, so I\'m just trying to move on from the offseason and try to forget it.\"

All four members of the \"Boras Four\" started the season slowly, but Bellinger, Chapman, and Snell have been much better the last few weeks.

Bellinger and Chapman have been fine all season. It is probably more difficult for a pitcher to miss Spring Training than an everyday ball player. Snell took a while but found his groove in early July and has kept it rolling. It seems Montgomery is having a difficult time moving on and forgetting the off-season negotiating nightmare.
