Part 3/7:
The complications don’t stop with the Dodgers. The Arizona Diamondbacks find themselves in a predicament with pitcher Jordan Montgomery, who has not lived up to expectations since signing a lucrative deal. Originally seen as an essential addition, Montgomery's poor performance—evidenced by a plus-six earned run average—has led the team's management to reconsider his placement in the starting rotation. As they seek to avoid losing assets, the Diamondbacks have yet to find a trading partner, meaning Montgomery will transition to a long-relief role at a hefty salary.
