LEFTY ON DECK? Could Jordan Montgomery Be the A’s Missing Piece?

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive into the A’s offseason strategies as they look to finalize their 2025 roster. With the team sitting around $90 million in payroll, they need to make moves to meet MLB’s revenue-sharing threshold of $105 million. One intriguing possibility? Former World Series Champion Jordan Montgomery. Coming off a tough 2024 season with the Diamondbacks, Montgomery could be a low-risk, high-reward addition to the A’s rotation. We’ll explore his potential fit, how he could help balance the payroll, and why his bounce-back potential makes him a smart target for Oakland. We also discuss trade scenarios that could bring Montgomery to the A’s, focusing on who Oakland might send to Arizona in return. Could a versatile left-handed bat, Seth Brown be the key piece in the deal? We’ll analyze the A’s current roster depth, positional needs, and prospects to see how they can structure a trade that benefits both sides. Plus, we discuss how Montgomery’s addition could strengthen the A’s rotation and their chances in a competitive AL West. Don’t miss this jam-packed offseason episode!
