A year after the Yankees signed Carlos Rodón to a six-year, $162 million contract, Montgomery is set to sign a similar deal that will play a key role in helping the Rangers win the World Series.” Montgomery has been linked to the Yankees several times this offseason and a move appears possible.
He was drafted by the Yankees and spent the first five years of his major league career in New York before being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals. The 31-year-old is one of the most sought-after free agent pitchers this offseason. He has been extremely stable in recent years, posting an ERA below 4.00 in each of the last three seasons. Montgomery would be a very strong contender and is a realistic option for the Yankees at this point.
