After engaging weeks of ifs and buts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s free agency saga has ended. The 25-year-old is now with the Los Angeles Dodgers after signing a $325 million contract. Given multiple teams chased him, this move has left the rest empty-handed. This includes the New York Yankees who are searching for a perfect partner for Gerrit Cole. Though many names are there, Jordan Montgomery echoes the most, all thanks to his 2023 World Series win campaign. However, is he in sync with what the Bronx requirements are?

Notably, Montgomery is not unknown to the 27-time Champions. Having played for them for almost six seasons, the ace pitcher is a former Yankee. This makes him a perfect fit for New York. However, there is a predicament due to the shocking 2022 exit the 30-year-old faced from the pinstripes. It has made the relationship between the two bitter and can affect the free agency push by the Yankees. However, given that there can be no better than this, if the champion pitcher agrees to return to his old home. But for that, they have to find consensus. Can they?

When Jordan Montgomery Shared His Pain on Shocking New York Yankees Exit

Communications play a role in maintaining a strong relationship, whether it’s professional or personal, and hence can’t be ignored. However, sometimes, there is a lack of it, which creates mistrust even if it is done for the good. The same happened with Montgomery, who was shocked to learn about his trade by the Yankees, which made him a St Louis Cardinal in exchange for Harrison Badar.

Though he felt the pain, but maintained a grace depicting the memories while terming the Yanks, his family. However, the pain and sadness went along with him, and whenever the two met, the same was visible. Now, after multiple engagements, the two are at a crossroads again with a wish for a reunion. But given the past, will it happen?

Will the Yankees Be Able to get the Trust of Their Former Back?

The situation could have been different had the two separated with smiles. But the sudden exit caused the problem. But it seems the Yankees still value him as a great pitcher. The report from The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal also points towards it, with internal discussions hinting about a reunion. However, will Montgomery agree with the terms?

Given Montgomery has only shined on the mound after his Yankees exit, he has an upper hand in this debate. The pitcher recorded ten wins and 166 strikeouts during the league stages of the last season. He then outshined himself in the postseason, helping them win clutch moments and the World Series. Through this, the Texas Rangers star gave a good account of himself. This fueled the Yankees’ interested. However, they may still find it tough to get the player.
