At just 27 years old, Chicago Cubs‘ lefty swingman Mike Montgomery is likely to fill many different roles before the end of this season. His start in Chicago was ominous, but since then Montgomery has become a pitcher that Joe Maddon is growing more comfortable with each day. He’ll be a swingman for now, with more starts likely to come to give the staff a rest. But it’s what lies beyond this year that makes him more intriguing.
The pitching staff of the Cubs has had many changes during Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer’s tenure.
