It&#8217;s a terrible look for a team hoping to attract more free agents in just a few months.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"inline-text\">Montgomery didn&#8217;t live up to his contract this season, but placing any blame for missing the postseason on an individual player\u00a0is ridiculous and unnecessarily harsh.\u00a0Owners and front office officials are usually kinder in their criticism, but Kendrick unloaded on Montgomery, and it&#8217;s jarring to hear.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"inline-text\">Rumors circulated that\u00a0the Red Sox made Montgomery an offer\u00a0before he signed with Arizona last year, and the pitcher later said he would&#8217;ve loved to play in Boston. Soon after he inked his deal with the Diamondbacks, Montgomery fired his agent, Scott Boras, for botching his free agency. Montgomery has an option for a second season built into his contract, and he should accept it to force the Diamondbacks organization to trade him if they dislike him so much.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"inline-text\">Red Sox fans haven&#8217;t had a ton of praise for team owner John Henry lately, but not even he would pull something as rude and shortsighted as Kendrick&#8217;s comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox dodged a bullet by whiffing on Jordan Montgomery last offseason.
