MLB Rumors: Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Matt Chapman and J.D. Martinez are the biggest free agent names still out there on the market, and Jon Heyman has a piece up where he looks at where each of the four could potentially end up. Interestingly, his “best guess” for two of that quadrumvirate — Montgomery and Martinez — is our defending champion Texas Rangers.
We talked earlier this week about Montgomery’s not yet finding a long-term deal to his liking, as well as why Montgomery would be less likely than fellow free agent pitcher Blake Snell to accept a short-term, opt-out laden deal along the lines of what Cody Bellinger has done with the Chicago Cubs.
