Plus, the Red Sox could probably snag Montas on a low-risk, one-year deal, at least according to MLB Trade Rumors\u2019 Steve Adams.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cMontas was dominant for the 2021 A\u2019s and has been mediocre since, due in no small part to shoulder surgery that wiped out nearly all of his 2023 season,\u201d<\/em> Adams said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis one-year deal with the Reds (who eventually traded him to the Brewers) has produced lackluster results. Montas\u2019 4.85 ERA isn\u2019t much to look at, but he\u2019s at least proven to be healthy (29 starts, 146 2\/3 innings).<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s also seen a velocity spike and uptick in swinging strikes since being traded to Milwaukee, but it still feels like he\u2019s probably looking at another one-year deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Montas returning to form in a Red Sox uniform would be just the break Boston needs, and it would make Breslow look like a genius.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston would be able to acquire the former Yankee on a one-year deal The Boston Red Sox have to add a productive starting pitcher or two this&#8230;
