Montgomery signed a minor-league contract with the Dodgers on Tuesday, Alex Freedman with the Oklahoma City Dodgers reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery will report to Triple-A, but it's unclear when he'll make his debut with Oklahoma City, Freedman notes. The left-hander struggled to a 6.72 ERA with Triple-A Syracuse last year, and he hasn't found much MLB success over the past few campaigns. He'll provide some organizational depth over the second half of the 2023 season.

Montgomery joined the Mets on a minor-league contract Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old lefty owns a 3.84 ERA in 541 career MLB innings, but it's been several years since he pitched at that level. He struggled to a 4.95 ERA in 2019 and then threw just 5.1 innings in 2020. He spent last season with the KBO's Samsung Lions but didn't fare well there, either, posting a 5.26 ERA and getting suspended 20 games for throwing a rosin bag at an umpire.

Montgomery was granted his release by the Yankees on Tuesday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Montgomery will opt out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees after he failed to secure a spot on the major-league roster to begin the year. The southpaw is expected to sign a contract with the Samsung Lions of the KBO.

Montgomery will likely sign with the Samsung Lions of the KBO for the remainder of the season, Sung Min Kim of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery intends to opt out of his deal with the Yankees on June 1, and he should serve as a replacement for Ben Lively (shoulder) in the KBO. Montgomery has made four starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season and has posted a 7.56 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 16.2 innings.

Montgomery intends to opt out of his minor-league deal with the Yankees on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old inked a minor-league pact with New York in early April, and it apparently included a June 1 opt out if he wasn't in the majors. Montgomery spent camp with the Mets but was released at the end of spring training after missing out on the Opening Day roster.

Montgomery agreed to a deal with the Yankees on Monday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery was released by the Mets on March 28, but he'll find a new club just over a week later. The terms of the agreement aren't yet known, but the southpaw will need to pass a physical before the deal is complete. Montgomery was being stretched out by the Mets this spring so he could pitch in multiple roles, but it's not yet clear how the Yankees intend to use him in 2021.

Montgomery was released by the Mets on Sunday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery was being stretched out during spring training so he could pitch in multiple roles in 2021, but he failed to win an Opening Day roster spot. As a result, the Mets will grant Montgomery his release so he can seek out other opportunities ahead of the regular season. The southpaw made three relief appearances this spring and allowed four hits and one walk while striking out seven in 4.2 scoreless innings.

The Mets plan to stretch Montgomery out to potentially utilize him in multiple roles this season, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery could be in a position to make the team due to Carlos Carrasco's (hamstring) extended absence to begin the season. While he likely wouldn't immediately slot into the rotation, Montgomery could be called upon as a spot starter if more injuries befall the team's pitchers. Assuming the team has enough depth to maintain a starting five without Montgomery, he could also serve as a multi-inning reliever.

Montgomery signed a minor-league contract Sunday with the Mets that includes an invitation to big-league spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery could compete for a back-end spot in the rotation or a long-relief role out of the bullpen this spring after working as a swingman for the Royals, Cubs and Mariners over parts of each of the past six seasons. While struggling with a lat injury in 2020, Montgomery was limited to only three appearances for Kansas City, giving up three earned runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings.

Montgomery elected free agency Friday instead of accepting an outright assignment to the minors.

EDGE Analysis

Montgomery missed most of the 2020 campaign with a lat strain, throwing just 5.1 innings. After posting a 3.35 ERA from 2016 through 2018, he'll hit the open market as a 31-year-old who's managed a 4.95 ERA over the last two seasons.
