After months of handwringing, are the Red Sox about to make a big free agent signing after all? Jordon Montgomery is still on the market, while over half of MLB teams actively chose mediocrity and a shot at the watered-down postseason instead of spending to actually improve their product. It appears that this has opened the door for the Austerity Sox, who have reportedly had recent “good” meetings about Montgomery with super agent Scott Boras. (Christopher Smith, MassLive)
A Montgomery signing would certainly make the rotation look a lot better, but what would really take it to the next level would be Lucas Giolito returning to his recent Cy Young contender form.
