Free agent left-handed starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery is reportedly looking for more money than the $172 million that the Philadelphia Phillies gave right-hander Aaron Nola to stay in town.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post relayed the news amid an article on the New York Yankees' free agent prospects.
"Executives and agents spoken to say that Jordan Montgomery is aiming to top the $172 million that Aaron Nola received from the Phillies. The Yankees like him. But they liked him when they traded him, ill-fatedly for Harrison Bader. They know he takes the ball, is competitive and can handle New York.
