Diamondbacks Demote Struggling Jordan Montgomery to Bullpen

Montgomery criticizes former agent Scott Boras for mishandling his free agency, leading to a challenging season in Arizona.

Montgomery signed a one-year, $25 million deal with Arizona just before the 2024 season began.
He missed spring training and dealt with a knee injury, contributing to his 6.44 ERA in 19 starts.
Manager Torey Lovullo replaced Montgomery in the rotation with Ryne Nelson, citing Nelson's strong recent performances.
Montgomery fired Boras after signing, blaming him for the unsatisfactory free agency outcome.
The Diamondbacks are currently in the NL wild-card race, holding the top spot.
