The Diamondbacks and Miguel Montero have agreed to a one-year contract to avoid arbitration according to a team press release. Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports that the contract is worth $3.2MM.
Our Arbitration Tracker shows that Montero filed for $3.4MM in arbitration while the team countered with $2.8MM, so they settled just above the midpoint. The 27-year-old backstop hit .266/.332/.438 with nine homers in 331 plate appearances last season. He missed two months of the summer after having right knee surgery.
would have liked to see them sign montero to a multi year contract,but at least they got the deal done.
If his first name was Jesus, he would get much more money. I mean like the guy from the Yankees you know… Clarification beats blasphemy any day of the week, I say.
