It wasn't that long ago that Frankie Montas was the Cincinnati Reds Opening Day starter. In case you forgot, Montas toed the rubber for the Reds first game of the 2024 season against the Washington Nationals. The right-hander logged six innings, didn't allow a run to score, and struck four batters en route to a Reds' season-opening win against the Nats.
Less than two years later, however, things have been turned upside down for the veteran hurler, and it now sounds as if his current team is ready to let him go. According to national MLB reporter Michael Marino, the New York Mets plan to DFA Montas this winter.
