According to a report from ESPN Chicago, Miguel Montero wants to return to the Cubs next season for what will be the final year under his current contract. Montero is owed $14 million for the 2017 season and reportedly will not asked to be traded.
Montero has not been happy with his playing time since he was acquired from the Diamondbacks during the 2014 Winter Meetings. And he voiced his displeasure about the lack of time during the postseason on the day of The World Series victory parade and rally.
Montero dealt with lower back issues (two bulging discs) for a majority of the year.
