Alex Rodríguez has always stated that he did not agree with the trade of Jordan Montgomery, when he left the New York Yankees. Now the left-hander shines in the postseason and the former Dominican player knows it.
There is talk that the Yankees moved on from the left-handed pitcher due to his poor performance in the postseason. However, now he shines with the Texas Rangers in the American League Championship Series and in New York they miss him.

The Yankees will have an opportunity to recover Montgomery and make him an important part of the starting staff, since the pitcher will be available in the winter market as a free agent.
He comes from leaving a 3.20 ERA with 166 strikeouts in 188 innings pitched in 32 outings in a regular season that he shared between St. Louis and Texas, and in which his salary was 10 million dollars in arbitration.
The Yankees are forced to change the face of their starting rotation and give Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón a senior partner, and Montgomery may be the answer. Injuries sidelined the New York team’s starting corps in 2023.
