"MLB Teams React to Jordan Montgomery's Unusual Free Agency Status"

The Chicago Cubs and super agent Scott Boras shared some lighthearted banter about the absence of free agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery, with Boras joking about waiting for more "Cubs signature moves." The Cubs are close to the 2024 tax line with a payroll near $220 million, making it uncertain if they would pursue a high-priced free agent like Montgomery, whose projected annual value is around $18.4 million. While Montgomery could bolster the Cubs' rotation, they seem content with their current starters and may not be inclined to pursue him.
