The Detroit Tigers made a handful of additions to their bullpen ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, including right-hander Rafael Montero, whom they acquired from the Atlanta Braves.
Montero is on the move for the second time in less than four months, as the Braves picked him up in a trade in early April. His career has been a rollercoaster marked by early promise, injuries, inconsistency, and dramatic performance swings. Yet, he's the kind of pitcher that teams continually take a chance on in hopes of reviving or sustaining his previous success.
Montero was once a top prospect in the New York Mets' system, debuting in 2014 with high expectations.
