The Arizona Diamondbacks are potentially willing to "eat" part of Jordan Montgomery's salary in order to find a trade partner for the left-handed starter, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Montgomery signed a one-year deal with the Diamondbacks after helping lead the Texas Rangers to the World Series in 2023. Earlier this month he exercised a $22.5 million vesting player option for the 2025 season.
Passan described Montgomery as "near the top of the list of players likeliest to get dealt" after he fell out of the Diamondbacks rotation in late August.
