US EditionD-backs LHP Jordan Montgomery to have Tommy John surgery
- Diamondbacks pitcher Jordan Montgomery, 32, announced he will undergo Tommy John surgery next week, ending his 2025 season and potentially impacting 2026.
- Montgomery, who previously had the surgery in 2018 while with the Yankees, had a disappointing 2024 season with Arizona, posting a career-worst 6.23 ERA in 25 games after signing a $25 million contract that included a player option.
- After a prolonged free agency and struggling in spring training, Montgomery exercised his $22.5 million player option for 2025, but the Diamondbacks were reportedly trying to trade him this offseason due to his poor performance.
- Montgomery said his left elbow had not been recovering well, and imaging revealed surgery was necessary, leading to Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick calling the signing a "horrible decision."
- Set to become a 33-year-old free agent after 2025, Montgomery faces a challenging return from surgery, likely having thrown his last pitch for Arizona, after what many are calling a backfired free agency move for both the team and the player.
