Braves Receives Good News Regarding Major Trade for $25 Million Pitcher, HC Brian Snitker Confirms Braves Look to Bolster Their Rotation. This summer, the Atlanta Braves made a significant move when they reached an agreement with outfielder Jurickson Profar on a free-agent contract. Despite having a fantastic season with the San Diego Padres, Profar is probably not the only player the Braves will acquire.
After the Braves signed Profar, Chris Landers of FanSided recently forecast that they would make a big trade. According to Landers, Atlanta will acquire pitcher Jordan Montgomery from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a trade.
“Spencer Strider is expected to return relatively early in the 2025 season, but the Braves may still need some backup, as well as another option to add to the mix of Grant Holmes, Bryce Elder, Ian Anderson, and AJ Smith-Shawver when he returns,” Landers said. “After acquiring Corbin Burnes during the offseason, the Arizona Diamondbacks have made it clear that Jordan Montgomery is on the market. Atlanta could likely acquire him for a mid-tier prospect and a commitment to cover around $10 million of his contract.” Braves Receives Good News Regarding Major Trade for $25 Million Pitcher, HC Brian Snitker Confirms Braves Look to Bolster their Rotation.
“After signing in spring training, Montgomery was acclimating to a new team, but he also had a terrible 2024 season. Given the injury danger associated with Strider, Chris Sale, and Reynaldo Lopez, his prior performance seems to be a lot closer to his true abilities, and he might be just the innings eater this team needs.”
At the moment, Montgomery is the ideal buy-low choice. After a terrible season, Arizona would probably take a sizable portion of the lefty’s deal in order to move him. The Braves might get a great deal if he gets back to his old self. The Braves can always cut him and replace him with a younger player if he has another rough patch.
