Wife of red sox player reportedly could play a major role in signing with the Boston Red Sox

Despite not being the favored destination for pitcher Jordan Montgomery, the Boston Red Sox have a solid chance of acquiring him, and the unexpected factor in their favor is linked to his soon-to-be doctor wife.

While the Red Sox have been relatively quiet in the offseason, even with links to several prominent free agents, it’s disheartening for fans who’ve witnessed their team finish at the bottom of the competitive American League East with a 78-84 record over the past two seasons.

Adding to the concern, Boston CEO Sam Kennedy recently acknowledged the possibility of a reduced payroll in 2024, indicating a potential reluctance to secure major contracts for roster improvement. However, a recent report provides some optimism that the team might make a crucial and necessary addition to the starting rotation soon.

Jordan Montgomery’s 2023 stats include a 10-11 record, 3.20 ERA, 1.193 WHIP, 166 strikeouts, and 188.2 innings pitched. In a recent live stream, MLB insider Jon Heyman from the New York Post updated the market situation for the veteran free agent pitcher. Heyman highlighted Montgomery’s preference to return to the Texas Rangers in 2024, but negotiations have reached an impasse. Interestingly, Heyman revealed a unique factor that could enable Boston to enter the scene and potentially lure away the former New York Yankees player.
