Mets' Montas Move May Haunt Them

0:00On March 29th, the New York Mets cut ties with pitcher Frankie Montes this off-season by designating him for assignment. It made sense for them at the time, but a new prediction says it might haunt them later. Fanside is Austin Owens sees Montes joining the Atlanta Braves as a mid-season pickup next year. Montes had a rough go last season with the Mets, going three and two and seven starts with the 6.28 ERA. At 32 years old, he just didn't fit their plans anymore, so they moved on to clear space. Braves fans are buzzing about this because Atlanta desperately needs pitching depth right now. Montes could be one of the top free agents still out there, turning the Mets trash into their rivals potential gym. His track record lately has been shaky across several teams, struggling big time since his days starting for the Oakland Athletics. Road games were especially tough for him back then, too. If this prediction hits, Mets brass might second-guess that quick exit when Montes faces them from the Braves mound. Keep an eye on where he lands next.
