Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Montas collected a 6.35 ERA in eight regular-season starts for the Yankees in 2022 after being acquired from the Athletics via trade before going down with a shoulder injury. The right-hander did make it back for one playoff appearance but wound up needing surgery on the shoulder in February. It was expected to be a season-ending operation, but Montas worked his way back for one late-season relief appearance, providing some hope that he's past the shoulder problems. At his best, Montas is a hard thrower capable of piling up strikeouts with his nasty splitter. His velocity was solid but down a bit in his one 2023 appearance, and it's fair to wonder whether he'll ever regain his pre-op stuff. Montas' workload figures to be limited even if he stays healthy given that he's basically coming off a lost season. He currently remains a free agent. Read Past Outlooks
Declines mutual option
Montas declined his portion of a $20 million mutual option for 2025, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll receive a $2 million buyout instead. Montas, who will turn 32 in March, posted a 4.84 ERA and 148:66 K:BB across 150.2 frames covering 30 regular-season starts between the Reds and Brewers in 2024 and allowed three runs (one earned) over 3.2 innings in a postseason start for Milwaukee.

Montas seemed likely to be traded by Oakland during spring training, but the team instead held onto him until the trade deadline. The right-hander pitched well the A's with a 3.18 ERA and 109:28 K:BB across 104.2 innings before being shipped to the Yankees, but he was unable to continue that success after the trade. His strikeout rate cratered eight percentage points to 17.8 percent with New York while opposing hitters batted .279 against him. He was relegated to the bullpen during the playoffs and made only one appearance. Montas has illustrated he has the stuff of a front-line starter but has been unable to consistently provide that production year-to-year, and he's now entering his final season of arbitration eligibility in dire need of a bounceback.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely hitting open market
Montas has a $20 million mutual option with a $2 million buyout for 2025, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, which the Brewers are likely to decline.
ANALYSIS
Montas was a trade-deadline acquisition for Milwaukee and delivered a 4.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 70:25 K:BB across 57.1 frames in 11 regular-season starts for his new team. Mutual options are rarely exercised by both sides, and in this case the cost-conscious Brewers are a sure bet to pay the buyout rather than shell out an additional $18 million.
