Jordan Montgomery and the Diamondbacks are in agreement on a one-year, $25M deal, sources confirm. @JeffPassan had it first. With 10 starts, he will trigger another $20M guarantee for 2025 that can increase to $25M with more starts, but Montgomery can opt out.
Montgomery is not expected to be included on the Diamondbacks' Opening Day roster. A source said he told the team he will agree to a minor league assignment to ramp up. Since he won't be on the roster to start, he won't be eligible to receive a qualifying offer after the season.
@nickpiecoro @JeffPassan MAYBE BUY A COMB THE NEXT TIME YOU GO OUT
@nickpiecoro @JeffPassan imagine if the @Dbacks added Bauer to that rotation...😬
@nickpiecoro @JeffPassan What's the plan for Henry and Nelson once Rodriguez and Montgomery are a go?
