Around the same time that the Mets announced the Seth Lugo injury, they also announced contracts to Mike Montgomery and Tommy Hunter. We already looked at Hunter, today we’ll look at Montgomery, what he has done recently as we get ready for spring training games to start.
Mike was drafted by the Royals in 2008 in the first round and was part of the 2012 trade that sent former top prospect Wil Myers and (as of writing this on 2/16) free agent Jake Odorizzi to Tampa Bay for Wade Davis and James Sheilds. He would make his major league debut in 2015 with the Mariners after being traded for Mets legend Erasmo Ramirez. The following year he was traded to the Cubs, which is the team I personally associate Montgomery with and he was traded again in 2019, this time back to the Royals. He was granted free agency at end of 2020.

Montgomery would have been a slam dunk to make a Wilpon team - we'll see if he can eke his way onto the Mets' 2021 OD roster in the era of Cohen upgrade.
