Passan: Cardinals trade Jordan Montgomery to Rangers
St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery has been traded to the Texas Rangers, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
What It Means:
Montgomery is on the move for the second deadline in a row. The Cardinals are in the midst of a fire sale - having just sent reliever Jordan Hicks to the Blue Jays less than an hour ago - and now part with their most-prized asset. The former Yankees southpaw is a free agent at the end of the season, and Texas is making sure they have ample starting pitching for a potential World Series run. No word yet on the package heading back to St. Louis.
In 121 innings pitched this season, Montgomery has a 6-9 record with a 3.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 108 strikeouts and 35 walks.
