Jordan Montgomery, a hero of the Texas Rangers playoff run and key part of the Rangers winning their first title, is joining the team Texas vanquished, the Arizona Diamondbacks, per reports.
The 31 year old Montgomery was acquired by the Rangers from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline in 2023 in a deal that saw Thomas Saggese and TK Roby go to St. Louis. He was terrific down the stretch and in the playoffs, and there appeared to be mutual interest in Montgomery returning to Texas for 2024 and beyond.
