Despite their staff being set for the 2024 season, there could be another fit in the Cubs rotation in the free-agent market. Left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery<\/a> remains unsigned with the MLB’s official regular season starting today in South Korea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Montgomery is another Scott Boras client who has elected to hold out to get the compensation he feels is fair. He has seen fellow Boras counterparts sign contracts during Spring Training. Cody Bellinger<\/a>, Matt Chapman<\/a>, and Blake Snell<\/a> all inked deals. They were much less money than initially expected entering the offseason. All three signed two or three-year contracts that include opt-outs after this season, essentially putting them back on the market next offseason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Montgomery likely won\u2019t net a deal longer than any other Boras client who has held out this long. However, his market is rather interesting. The Boston Red Sox have come up frequently in rumors, along with a potential return to the Texas Rangers. Outside of that, specific team names haven\u2019t been tossed out there as much as in Blake Snell\u2019s saga.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
