\"Corbin<\/p>\n

Following the deal Corbin Burnes signed with the Diamondbacks, Jordan Montgomery seems to be on his way out the door, and the Braves make some sense as a trade partner.<\/p>\n

Arizona beat out several other clubs for Burnes\u2019 services, giving him $35 million a year over six years, a franchise record. It\u2019s made Montgomery expendable, presenting Alex Anthopoulos with an opportunity to buy low on a guy with a track record.<\/p>\n

There are several contributing factors to why this makes a lot of sense. The D-Backs are reportedly willing to eat part of Montgomery\u2019s salary to facilitate a trade. He\u2019s set to earn $22.5 million after exercising his player option.<\/p>\n

Montgomery finished last season with a putrid 6.23 ERA through 25 appearances and 117.0 innings pitched. It was a foregone conclusion that Montgomery would exercise his player option for 2025, even after he was ridiculed by the owner.<\/p>\n

Following the season, Ken Kendrick told Arizona Sports it was \u201ca horrible decision to have invested that money in a guy that performed as poorly as he did. It\u2019s our biggest mistake this season from a talent standpoint, and I\u2019m the perpetrator of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It just doesn\u2019t seem like a relationship that is going to be mended, which is where the Braves come in, because Jordan Montgomery isn\u2019t a 6.23 ERA pitcher. His 4.48 FIP suggests that ERA was a bit inflated; even more, the veteran recorded a 3.48 ERA over the three seasons prior with the Yankees, Cardinals, and Rangers.<\/p>\n

Montgomery is the perfect buy-low, high-upside candidate that Alex Anthopoulos is looking for because it\u2019s all about value. He isn\u2019t wanted in Arizona so badly that the Diamondbacks are even willing to eat a portion of his salary. While he\u2019s not an ace, he\u2019s a perfectly acceptable middle-of-the-rotation arm, and if Arizona is willing to eat some cash, it might be worth the gamble. A similar situation played out last year when the Braves made the trade for Chris Sale, and I would say that worked out pretty damn well.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
