Frankie Montas’ has a UCL tear that will require surgery (and very likely the full Tommy John surgery, which would take him out for 2026, too).
Montas will obviously pick up his $17 million 2026 option.
Montas’ replacement, the phenomenal spinmeister Nolan McLean, came up not a moment too soon.
Jonah Tong was a smart call up too. Tong throws 96-97 mph with two great breaking balls and a dynamic changeup. Scouts also say he is an “80 human” on the 20-80 scout scale. (Our Mark Sanchez basically confirmed that at the Futures Game.)
