"Red Sox Pursuing Deal with Ex-Yankees Pitcher Jordan Montgomery"
TL;DR
The Boston Red Sox had a Zoom meeting with pitcher Jordan Montgomery in early February, as confirmed by manager Alex Cora, but no immediate agreement was reached. With Montgomery still on the market, the Red Sox remain interested in adding him to their rotation, although they are waiting for his asking price to drop. The team is aiming to open the season with a lower payroll than in 2023, and signing Montgomery could push them close to their previous spending range. Montgomery, who recently turned 31, had a strong performance in the 2023 season, making him an appealing option for the Red Sox.
