Frankie Montas\u2019 has a UCL tear that will require surgery (and very likely the full Tommy John surgery, which would take him out for 2026, too).<\/p>\n
Montas will obviously pick up his $17 million 2026 option.<\/p>\n
Montas\u2019 replacement, the phenomenal spinmeister Nolan McLean, came up not a moment too soon.<\/p>\n
Jonah Tong was a smart call up too.\u00a0Tong throws 96-97 mph with two great breaking balls and a dynamic changeup. Scouts also say he is an \u201c80 human\u201d on the 20-80 scout scale. (Our Mark Sanchez basically confirmed that<\/a> at the Futures Game.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frankie Montas\u2019 has a UCL tear that will require surgery (and very likely the full Tommy John surgery,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,282,54586,462,475,82,2091,2089],"class_list":["post-103924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-exclusive","tag-frankie-montas","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-mets","tag-sports","tag-sports-columnists","tag-sports-plus"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
