Jordan Montgomery, a prominent left-handed pitcher for the Diamondbacks, has been speculated as a trade candidate leading up to Opening Day. Recent reports indicate that the team is negotiating to offload $13MM of his salary. While the starting pitching market has cooled down, Montgomery's impressive stats from previous years suggest he has a higher ceiling than other available pitchers. However, his poor performance in the 2024 season, culminating in a 6.23 ERA, has raised questions about his value, even as he remains an appealing option for teams looking for pitching depth.
"Jordan Montgomery, who has been a logical trade candidate, remains with the Diamondbacks as negotiations for his $13MM salary continue amidst a cooled starting pitching market."
"Despite his 6.23 ERA in 2024 and a lackluster season that led to his demotion to the bullpen, Montgomery's overall potential keeps him a sought-after candidate."
