Texas Rangers bringing back 2023 World Series hero Jordan Montgomery on one-year deal
SURPRISE, Ariz. — It worked pretty well once before, so here they go again: The Rangers are acquiring left-hander Jordan Montgomery with the idea he’ll be a useful second-half member of the pitching staff.
Only difference: In 2023, they traded for Montgomery at the deadline. This time around: They are signing a still-rehabbing Montgomery to a minimal major league deal, a person with direct knowledge of the deal told The Dallas Morning News Wednesday.
Montgomery, 33, is expected to earn $1.25 million in base salary with the ability to add more via performance bonuses. But he first must get on a mound. Montgomery hasn’t pitched since an awful 2024 season with Arizona in which he posted a 6.23 ERA and fell out of the starting rotation at times. In late March last year, he underwent hybrid elbow ligament reconstruction in a procedure conducted by Rangers medical director Dr. Keith Meister.
Jordan Montgomery agrees to deal to return to Rangers (report)
The Rangers are set to reunite with a pitcher from their 2023 World Series triumph, agreeing to a one-year deal with left-hander Jordan Montgomery, a source told MLB.com's Kennedi Landry on Wednesday. Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reported that the contract is for $1.25 million, which the club has not confirmed.
Montgomery won’t be ready for the start of the season as he is still rehabbing after undergoing Tommy John surgery this past April. It’s the second TJ procedure of his career, with the first one coming in 2018, his second season.
This would be the Rangers' second acquisition this offseason to bolster their already-formidable pitching staff after trading for MacKenzie Gore last month.

Montgomery returning to Rangers, per reports
Texas Rangers rumors: Jordan Montgomery is returning to Arlington on a one year deal for $1.25 million plus incentive bonuses, per Evan Grant. Montgomery, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, would presumably immediately go on the 60 day injured list.
Montgomery, of course, was one of the heroes of the 2023 World Series team. Acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals at the trade deadline, along with Chris Stratton, in exchange for Tekoah Roby, Thomas Saggese and John King, Montgomery put up a 2.79 ERA in 11 starts post-trade and a 2.90 ERA in 6 post-season appearances, including pitching in relief in the Rangers’ Game 7 ALCS clincher.
