  • Montgomery seen as 'perfect' add for Mets "A bare-bones rotation ... and shaky bullpen calls for someone who eats innings," ESPN's Jeff Passan wrote. "And when an available pitcher not only does that with aplomb but also has proven he's equipped with the mettle to pitch in New York and the stuff to dominate in the postseason, that's the sort of free agent well worth nine figures."
