Why the Phillies shouldn’t go over the Third Luxury Tax Threshold for Jordan Montgomery

Given the lack of market for free agent pitcher Jordan Montgomery, the Phillies have been linked as a possible team by multiple insiders.

Jon Heyman of the New York Post has said he wouldn’t be surprised if the Phillies had another big move coming. Mark Feinsand and Jon Morosi of MLB.com have also linked Montgomery to the Phillies before.

It seems unlikely that the Phillies would make a move for him, Matt Gelb doesn’t think any meaningful pitching upgrade would come until July, and Todd Zolecki has said multiple times that it’s unlikely.
