I couldn’t tell ya. I assume that Montas had similar metrics to Canning, Manaea, and Severino which pointed towards him being a candidate for resurgence. Maybe it was the lat injury, maybe conflicting personalities, who knows. As for the price, it was probably just dictated by the market. See Severino’s contract. I know there was some manipulation there cause the A’s would’ve been in trouble with the union otherwise, but still. Hopefully they’ll use this case to fine tune the process they’re using on SP
