Jordan Montgomery's Free Agency Decision Looms as Rangers, Red Sox Vie for Pitcher

With the MLB spring training deadline approaching, Montgomery's strong performance has made him a sought-after free agent.

Jordan Montgomery, a key pitcher in the Rangers' World Series run, is nearing a decision on his free agency with the Rangers and Red Sox as potential destinations.
Montgomery's strong performance, including a 3.20 ERA and 166 strikeouts, makes him one of the top free agents.
The Rangers, his former team, are considered favorites for his return, but financial uncertainties could affect the deal.
The Red Sox, under the influence of Theo Epstein, may make a late push if they can offload Kenley Jansen's salary.
Montgomery's decision is expected by next Thursday, ahead of MLB pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training.
