After the Arizona Dianmondbacks removed pitcher Jordan Montgomery from their starting rotation and placed in the bullpen, Montgomery blames and throws shade at his agent for screwing up his situation.

Jordan Montgomery has been removed from the D-Backs starting rotation and into the bullpen, per
@Gambo987.
Regarding how Scott Boras handled his free agency, Montgomery said: «Obviously Boras kind of butchered it, so I'm just trying to move on from the offseason.»

Per the Arizona Republic, Arizona D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo announced that Montgomery is no linger starting and has been moved into the bullpen. RHP Ryne Nelson, who has an amazing 2.82 ERA in his last eight starts, will remain in the rotation and take his spot.

"(Nelson has) been one of the best pitchers since July 1 in all of baseball, not just the National League," Lovullo said Friday (via the Arizona Republic). "I didn't want to run away from that."

Montgomery has an ERA of 6.44, walking 36 and only striking out 67 in 95 innings pitched. For some odd reason, Montgomery decided to throw his agent Scott Boras under the bus for ruing his situation with Arizona during the offseason.
"I had a Zoom call with (the Boston Red Sox during free agency). That's really all I know. It went good," Montgomery said Friday (via 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."

Cleary there are some issues between him and Boras that needs to be ironed out but to blame your agent for having an ERA above 6 is hilarious.
