Jordan Montgomery agrees to contract with Diamondbacks to end long free agency
NY Post
Jordan Montgomery has finally, finally found a new home — and it’s not New York.
The left-hander has agreed to a contract with the Diamondbacks, The Post’s Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman confirmed on Tuesday night.
Montgomery, who won the World Series with the Rangers last season, will get paid $25 million this season with a vesting option for a second, according to Heyman.
He will make $20 million if he makes 10 starts and can make as much as $25 million if he reaches 23 starts.
The hurler can opt out of the deal for next year, however, if he hits the 10-start threshold.
Sherman reported Monday that the Mets and Yankees both had not shut the door on bringing in Montgomery.
Any and every NFL draft is replete with questions about needs and priorities and rankings and roster construction, with the status of the general manager and the head coach (are they secure or are they on the hot seat?) and the forecast for the franchise all weaving their way into the many potential scenarios.
