One former member of the St. Louis Cardinals has a massive market in free agency.

Former Cardinals ace Jordan Montgomery has been a hot commodity this offseason. He is one of the top free agents available and with so many teams looking to improve their starting rotations, many have shown interest in a signing.

It’s unclear where Montgomery will land, but the Texas Rangers seem like the most likely move right now, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

“A return to Texas has seemed like the logical move for Montgomery, who helped lead the Rangers to the first World Series title in franchise history last fall,” Feinsand said. “A local barbecue joint located near Globe Life Field has even done its part in trying to lure Montgomery back to Texas, offering the left-hander free BBQ for life if he re-ups with the Rangers.

“So why hasn’t it happened? Montgomery could simply be falling victim to a market that – outside of the (Los Angeles Dodgers) – has seemingly been hesitant to make big deals. The Rangers make the most sense for Montgomery, who has also been connected to the (New York Yankees), (Boston Red Sox), (Philadelphia Phillies), (Los Angeles Angels), and (San Francisco Giants) in recent weeks.”

Montgomery had a great year in 2023 with the Cardinals and Rangers. He was most impressive down the stretch after St. Louis traded him to Texas. The big lefty shined brightest in the postseason and helped lead the Rangers to a World Series title.

 

It wouldn’t be too surprising to see him back in Texas in 2024.
