Top MLB Teams That Need Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, as MLB’s Pitching Market Declines

Will Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery start the regular season without a team? Super agent Scott Boras’ two significant clients, Snell, and Montgomery, have yet to be signed even during spring training, and they seem to be still actively searching for their base to bring the team their necessary fortune. Regarding that, a recent analysis presents a probable list of five teams that may benefit by signing either of the starting pitchers.

1. Boston Red Sox

Given the increasing rate of injury issues, a long list of giant teams has been strolling around the free agency market to find their best fit to add depth to their roster. So do the Red Sox after losing Lucas Giolito indefinitely with an elbow issue. And the only place where the team can find solace is signing another strong pitching hand like Snell or Monty, to be precise.

2. San Francisco Giants

The Giants have made a significant move throughout the off-season after signing Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler, Jung Hoo Lee, Jordan Hicks, and Tom Murphy. But looking at the gap, they still need some more brick to add to the bridge. And Snell can ideally be the brick, as pointed out by one of their rivals.

3. Seattle Mariners

The Seattle Mariners have made significant additions throughout the off-season. But they seem to need more depth at third base after getting Luis Urias injured. Now, if the team can see any potential option to do the same, then Blake Snell appears to be the most convenient option.

4. Chicago Cubs

The Cubs reunited with their former ace and one of the agent’s biggest clients, Scott Boras. However, the team still has voids to fill, and one of the ‘Boras Four,’ Jordan Montgomery, can benefit them the most with a convenient contract amount. As one of their competitors remarked, “Monty would be perfect for the Cubs. They can afford him.”

5. Texas Rangers

Seemingly, the Rangers are rejoicing in their first World Series win. However, to keep the legacy going, they will need to add a talent pool to their roster, and Montgomery and J. D. Martinez could do the same.

Though several teams have expressed interest in the two available starting pitchers, no team has made an offer yet. Given that fact, one concerning question still seems to loom: Will the starting pitchers land with the most fitting team before the regular season begins?

The impending regular season brings creases to the pitchers’ forehead

The regular season is merely three weeks away, and fans are still waiting to see their favorite athletes, Snell and Monty, land on a team. Ever since they entered the free agency market, speculations have started swirling regarding their probable deal. But proving every prediction wrong, the pitchers are still searching for their bases. However, given their flexible approach to their demands, many teams have entered their pursuers’ list.

Now that the regular season is approaching, analysis has narrowed down the long list of prospective buyers. As presented by the renowned MLB insider Bob Nightengale, the Los Angeles Angels or the Giants could be the most fitting options for Blake Snell as they need depth in their pitching segment. On the other hand, though Monty seemed fitting for the Red Sox, they surprisingly haven’t placed any offer to the potential starting pitcher. Will the teams make the moves before the regular season? Only time has the answers.
