Jordan Montgomery BLASTS Scott Boras for BUTCHERED offseason deals!

I never miss an opportunity to tell you that Scott Boris is one of the worst agents and people I've come across I never miss an opportunity to tell you what Boris did with Jose Fernandez I never miss an opportunity to tell you that the way Boris handles owners and free agents and the way he does his scrums at the GM meetings and the winter meetings the way he dealt with the recent collective bargaining agreement I never miss an opportunity to give you facts about Boris never something happened over the weekend that caught my attention do you remember Jordan Montgomery you may remember him from the World Series last year with Texas you may remember him on the Yankees you may remember him on the Cardinals you may remember him as one of boris's core four free agents last year along with Chapman and Snell and Bellinger you may remember that none of them got long-term deals and you may remember that Jordan Montgomery fired Scott Boris earlier this season you don't see this every day what happened yesterday Jordan Montgomery the player came out really hard against Boris and it made headlines many of you correctly said that this would come up on the show today and yes it is but again for those of you who think you're never surprised by me you may want to listen every day because once in a while you're going to be surprised do you know Jordan Montgomery has started 19 games and has a 6.44 earned run average he's thrown 95 Innings won eight games he has not pitched well under any scenario he signed a deal with the Diamondbacks late in spring training and do you remember the deal that he signed do you remember the fact that it was a one plus one he got one guaranteed year and the second year becomes guaranteed if he makes a certain number of starts it was like a vesting option Jordan Montgomery said that he had a call with the Boston Red Sox during free agency because there was a conversation whether or not the Red Sox would have offered more than what the DI backs off he said that's really all I know it went good he told the Boston Herald I don't know obviously Boris kind of butchered it so I'm just trying to move on from the off season and trying to forget it what exactly did Boris butcher did you have a fiveyear $150 million offer 5ye $110 million offer did you have four years at 100 can you be specific with whether or not the Red Sox offered you what maybe would consider to be a butchering it's sort of like Snell's saying yeah the Yankees offered me 150 million but I knew I could do better uh oh I didn't do better way to go Scotty I'm just trying to figure out what the butchering was because from where I'm sitting Scott Boris got a number eight starter paid like a number two starter I believe that Jordan Montgomery should hand 5% of his $22 million deal to to Scott Boris and say I appreciate you this is coming on the heels of Jordan Montgomery being moved to the bullpen he lost his starting spot remember that black bag with pieces of paper in it you know what else is in that bag players contracts not players that'd be a very big bag and it wouldn't fit it would give me backaches player cont contracts terms who's got vesting options who's got player options team options what are the terms of the vesting options last week Hector nerys got designated by the Cubs because they didn't want any of his eption options to vest next year's option we absolutely have the right and did do that we would stop players from getting options to vest if the player a was not performing or B the team was not performing harder to win a grievance when the team sinks but the player is good and then you stop the player from playing but do you think it's a coincidence that Jordan Montgomery is in the bullpen just out of curiosity do you know that his contract says that in 2025 he can get an extra $2.5 million if he gets to 23 starts well he at 19 starts right now why would the Diamondbacks ever allow him to start four more games and therefore throw $25 million down the toilet where he'd be getting paid 25 million instead of the 22.5 that he ready vested into I'm not sure I would have let him vest at all into 2025 but suffice it to say he already vested at the first level but these contracts contain different levels your contract vests at $20 million at 18 starts but then it becomes 22 million at 20 starts and then 24 million at 24 starts and then 30 million at 28 starts and the reason why you go up is a full season if you're not hurt at the top of the rotation you should count on getting about 33 starts 30 starts is a full season way to go you were not hurt everything's great 20 starts means that you've missed approximately call it 10 times through which is almost two months assuming you have a starter every 5 days 10 Time 5 is 50 that's 10 weeks 50 days that seven weeks excuse me about a month and a half it's a full DL the Arizona Diamondbacks had to for grievance purposes send Tory lello out and my cousin out who's the GM to talk to reporters because the reporters were going to ask hey what's the deal with Montgomery a what he said about Boris but B about him moving to the bullpen Tori called the decision to move Montgomery to the bullpen agonizing agonizing why because you're saving $2 and half million dollars by not letting him get to his next level of his vesting option or because of the fact that he stinks which part was agonizing to you I've pushed Tori to make the best decisions for the team every single night to put us in a chance to win period I don't care about anything else I told him we'll deal with anything we have to here's a little note for you all that's not at all how it works within the Diamondbacks or within any other organization yes we're always trying to win every single game though I've never seen anyone go 162 2 and0 I've pushed our manager to make the best decisions for the team every single night how does that happen do they meet pregame and he says to the manager Hey listen make good decisions like you're talking to your son going out at 17 years old on the town make good decisions or you tell your daughter be smart think that's what managers are told make good decisions never said that once to a manager hey let's go over the decisions what do we doing in this scenario that scenario when this happens when that happens you think that Mike cin just walks in and says hey go get him Tori good luck
