St. Louis Cardinals
If Jordan Montgomery is unable to get what he's looking for over the next pair of weeks, a reunion with the St. Louis Cardinals makes some sense. The Cardinals already upgraded their rotation in the offseason, but if they want to make a big statement, adding Montogmery back to the mix would do exactly that. This would likely revolve around moving Steven Matz to the bullpen or sending him off in a trade, but the fit makes sense, and there's familiarity from both parties.
St. Louis Cardinals World Series Odds
The Cardinals are listed at +3000 to win the 2024 World Series.

Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers and Jordan Montgomery haven't had a ton of communication this offseason, but reports suggest they remain the front runners for his services. Montgomery played a major role in helping the Rangers win the 2023 World Series, and a reunion makes sense for both sides. The question that we're now asking is why isn't this deal done yet? Montgomery is looking for a big pay day and deservedly so after a strong 2023 campaign. Let's see if the Rangers and Montgomery can come to an agreement in the coming weeks.
Texas Rangers World Series Odds
The Rangers are listed at +1200 to win the 2024 World Series.
Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox continue to be a team that's been linked to Jordan Montgomery. Still, with the Red Sox not looking to add money to their payroll, they'll likely need to move money out in order to make that work. Some have speculated that's why relief pitcher Kenley Jansen's name has been out there in trade talks. If the Red Sox can get Jansen's salary off the books, don't be surprised if they make a run at Montomgery to solidify their rotation.
Boston Red Sox World Series Odds
The Red Sox are listed at +5000 to win the 2024 World Series.
