Frankie Montas Signs With The Reds
12 months agoFree-agent starting pitcher Frankie Montas has signed a deal with the Cincinnati Reds, according to Jon Heyman of MLB Network. The terms of the deal have not been released yet, but it's likely to be a short-term deal, considering Montas' recent injury history. The 30-year-old hurler went from the Athletics to the Yankees at the 2022 trade deadline but produced a 6.35 ERA (4.93 FIP) over 39 2/3 innings with New York in the second half of that season. A shoulder injury, which eventually led to surgery, limited him to just one appearance in 2023 with the Yankees as well. There's no doubt that the shoulder injury limited Montas in the second half of 2022, so his struggles should be taken with a grain of salt. Across eight major-league seasons, he has a 3.90 ERA, 1.294 WHIP, and 612:197 K:BB over 593 2/3 innings. He is an interesting bounce-back candidate from a fantasy perspective in 2024.
