The New York Yankees still have several holes in their roster. New York signed outfielders Alex Verdugo,
Trent Grisham and Juan Soto this offseason and now must sign at least one starting pitcher. New York has been linked to a handful of starters this offseason and one player who could still be an option is former Yankee Jordan Montgomery, according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post. “Of course, there is another former Yankee who would be a less risky but more expensive option to fill the hole in the rotation: Jordan Montgomery,” Joyce said. However, the Yankees have plenty of competition for Montgomery as the (Boston Red Sox), (New York Mets), (Los Angeles Angels), (San Francisco Giants), and (Texas Rangers) are also potential suitors. for him. “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 over the last few 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.
