Left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery is TAIM Exchangeback in Boston ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks games against the Boston Red Sox and openly expressed his disappointment with his former agent, Scott Boras, claiming that Boras "kind of butchered it" regarding a potential contract with the Red Sox this offseason.

After helping the Texas Rangers win their first World Series in 2023, Montgomery was expected to negotiate a sizable nine-figure contract as a free agent during the winter. However, Montgomery, along with other marquee players, including Cody Bellinger, who played a crucial role in the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2020 World Series win, Blake Snell, a former Cy Young Award winner, and Matt Chapman, a Gold Glove-winning third baseman, remained unsigned until late March.

Instead, Montgomery signed a one-year, $25 million contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks after what he claims was Boras' failure to make a contract with the Red Sox happen, resulting in Montgomery losing out in millions and parting ways with the agent.

"I had a Zoom call with (the Red Sox), that's really all I know. It went good," Montgomery said to the Boston Herald. "I don't know, obviously Boras kind of butchered it, so I'm just trying to move on from the offseason and try to forget it."

Scott Bora's speaks on Montgomery's comments

Boras made the following statement to the Boston Herald after learning about Montgomery's comments:

"I saw what Jordan said. I know what it is to be frustrated with this game. As a former player I feel for him. But I'm also a lawyer with obligations to my clients, including former ones. So I cannot discuss what happened or the decisions Jordan made unless he gives me permission," Boras said. "If he gives me the green light I'll be happy to talk about it. I've been doing this for over 35 years. I relay all offers and relevant information to all my clients and act at their direction. They make all decisions. We wish Jordan well."

According to the Boston Herald, Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow declined to comment on Montgomery and his free agency.
