Jordan Montgomery signs with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a 1 year, $25 million deal

On Tuesday night, the reigning NL champs Arizona Diamondbacks signed Starting Pitcher Jordan Montgomery to a 1 year, $25 million deal. This is a huge deal for both of them, as the Diamondbacks get a quality starter in Montgomery, and he gets a masive contract for him. The real question about this signing is, how does this affect your fantasy team?

Last year, Jordan notched down 166 strikeouts, with a 3.20 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP, with 188 2/3 IP. What was really excting was his postseason run, where in 31 IP, he had a 2.90 ERA to help lead the Rangers to a World Series victory over, ironically the Diamondbacks. 

Montgomery will pitch in the rotation with Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and Brandon Pfaadt. Experts predict that he will come in the rotation right behind Gallen this year, which would be the same as last year when he came in behind Nathan Eovaldi. If your drafting Montgomery, he will still be the same player he was last year, but the only thing up in the air is if he can produce at the same level that he did whenever he was on the Rangers. He got dealt from the Cardinals at the trade deadline last year, and his statistics skyrocketed, and he looked like a whole new player. We've made our case on why you should draft Jordan Montgomery, and now you need to follow through with it and select the World Series winner to be on your roster.
