With Opening Day a matter of days away, one of the offseason’s top free agent arms remains available in southpaw Jordan Montgomery. Reporting yesterday indicated that the lefty has multiple long-term offers on the table, though it’s unclear which clubs those offers have come from. Today, Joel Sherman of the New York Post indicates that both the Yankees and Mets have yet to “shut the door” on a hypothetical deal with the 31-year-old.
It’s hardly the first time a Montgomery-Yankees reunion has been rumored. A report last week revealed that the sides had “reopened discussions,” and the sides have been loosely connected all throughout the winter even as the lefty appeared to prefer a return to Texas while the Yankees pursued fellow southpaw and Scott Boras client Blake Snell. Per Sherman, the Yankees have provided Montgomery’s camp with a range at which they are comfortable striking a deal with the lefty, though the sides remain apart as things stand even as Montgomery’s asking price has dropped as the start of the regular season approaches.
Sherman indicates that Montgomery’s initial ask was in a similar range to the seven-year, $172MM deal signed by right-hander Aaron Nola back in November, but he’s since begun to target the extension Tyler Glasnow signed with the Dodgers as a potential comp. Glasnow’s deal was announced by the Dodgers as worth $136.5MM over five years, though it’s worth noting that figure includes his $25MM salary for the 2023 season. In other words, that deal guaranteed Glasnow just $111.5MM in new money over four years.
The Yankees don’t appear to be interest in going to that level to secure Montgomery’s services, however. Sherman indicates that the club has “privately assessed” Montgomery to be a #3 starter, suggesting that the club’s range of comfort could be closer to the four-year, $80MM deal veteran southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez signed with the Diamondbacks back in December. While a gap of roughly $30MM is significant, it’s hardly completely insurmountable. New York reportedly made a six-year, $150MM offer to Snell back in January, suggesting a willingness to stretch their budget to land an arm of Montgomery’s caliber. Particularly in light of the sudden uncertainty the club’s rotation is facing with ace right-hander Gerrit Cole set to miss at least a couple of months to open the season, it would hardly be a surprise to see Montgomery and the Yankees find some common ground and work out a deal at some point.
The Mets’ interest, by contrast, does not appear to be as advanced as their AL counterparts. Sherman indicates that the club’s strategy regarding Montgomery is similar to the one they employed when negotiating with veteran DH J.D. Martinez, who eventually signed with them on a one-year deal that guarantees $12MM, though the majority of that money is deferred. That’s not to say that David Stearns’s front office values the two Boras Corporation clients identically; even considering the depressed market Montgomery is likely facing this late into his free agency, it would be a shock to see him sign a similar deal to the one inked by Martinez. Rather, it appears that the Mets don’t expect to get more deeply involved in Montgomery’s market unless his asking price drops into their established range of interest.
The 31-year-old would be a surefire upgrade to either club’s rotation if signed. Over the past three seasons, few pitchers have been more reliable than Montgomery, who sports a 3.48 ERA (121 ERA+) and 3.62 FIP across 94 starts. Only five pitchers—Cole, Nola, Dylan Cease, Kevin Gausman, and Jose Berrios—have started more regular season games over the past three years, and of that group only Cole and Gausman have posted a lower ERA during that time. With that being said, Montgomery’s lengthy free agency has wiped out the opportunity for him to have a normal Spring Training and will almost assuredly leave whatever club signs the southpaw to remain without him for at least the first few weeks of the regular season.
The New York clubs aren’t Montgomery’s only known suitors. The left-hander has frequently been tied to the Red Sox throughout the winter, and more recent reporting has connected him to Philadelphia as well. On the other hand, the rumor mill has been mostly quiet about Boston and Montgomery in recent weeks, while Phillies GM Dave Dombrowski told reporters (including Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer) that the club is not “actively seeking” free agent pitching at the moment, even in the wake of the news that right-hander Taijuan Walker will open the season on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement.
You can go ahead and take the Red Sox out of these Montgomery stories…
Hahahaha you can take everyone out of the Monty conversations. There is maybe one team offering a 2 year deal- and Boras is having his reporter minions “leak” the repetitive nonsense that all these teams are in talk, are interested, having conversations etc etc “there are 2 teams with long term offers out to Monty” lol that wasn’t the biggest pile of horse sh… I mean does boras really thing every mlb team are a bunch of morons !?!? He’s think they are buying this crap?!? Lmao eventually a team will announce they have a short term deal for Monty. And all these reporters can eat their words. All BS stories.
Lmao eventually a team will announce they have a short term deal for Monty.
==========================
Followed by two things.
1-The player will announce that “this is exactly what I was looking for”.
2-The Boras fans in here will say that Monty is much better off with this deal, no matter what it is.
Boras’ tactics are disingenuous. I understand his goal is to get his clients the most money possible but it’s bordering on foul play with falsifying information via the media.
Hey Mike. Not as good as I was. Regards, Ellis burks
Montgomery to the Diamondbacks!!!!
It’s a good thing that the Yankees announced their fifth starter in Luis Gil today. I guess Carlos Rodon goes to the bullpen if the Yankees sign Monty.
Montgomery won’t be ready to start the season since he missed the entirety of spring training. Not sure how they plan to piece the team together once he is.
They won’t be is my point.
Yeah you’re right it’s not happening.
Sign him already, Monty come back home! 4/80M sounds about right.
But it’s not 4/70, it’s actually 4/170 due to penalties. Is he worth $42.5mm/year? More than Cole, more than Judge. Still interested?
Arent they paying the same tax on Cole and Judge?
Kiwi – That is not necessarily correct. The tax is assessed only in the years they are over the top threshold. Reducing payroll in 2025 would reduce the tax. Soto leaving would be one way to reduce payroll.
Thanks for the clarity. With some big contracts on the books, it’s hard to see them coming under the lower tiers, unless of course they sign no-one in the off-season.
I was going to make a joke about still having to pay Ellsbury and Hicks but sometimes folks don’t get that…
It does not work that way as the 110% hit or $42 mill is for 2024 only. If Yankees drop below the Cohen tax in 2025 then his sslary goes back to normal so essentially its 4/102 and that’s something I think Yankees do.
That’s not quite right either. There is a real good chance that the 110% tax won’t apply, but anything above $281M is still taxed at the 95% rate.
Joe – Do you mean for 2024? If so, why?
I was referring to the 110% Cohen tax but you are correct they still have some sort of luxury tax hit however with almost $79 million coming off the books excluding possible Rizzo’s $17 option declined they are well positioned to dip below at least the $281 3rd tier tax hit. I see zero chance Soto returning even on a $500 million contract as he simply not worth more than $140 million than Judge andcwe know Soto and Boras hold out for $600+ million easily.
So your idea is to sign him and nobody next year. That would go over really well.
I think it’s safe to say that Jordan Montgomery won’t be getting a 7 year(190M+) deal. It’s taken his camp an awfully long time to realize this and move onto the next best contract option.
The greed is a shame for a good, consistent pitcher. He could have probably got 5/135 maybe even early March for age 31-35 seasons……or earlier than that maybe squeezed 6/150.
It was understandably preferred to get max guarantee now in 30s rather than short-term, but be self-aware and a little flexible.
As a RS fan, that was my ballpark figure. I’d still sign the guy, but the market has flattened out, and I have my doubts about players missing spring training.
Especially Pitchers.
I predict he wont get more than 5/95
More news that says nothing.
I would rather read about what Rusty Kuntz ate for breakfast than wade through another Monty story…
the yankees and undervaluing jordan montgomery: name a more iconic duo
NY Post piece is really a retread of things we’ve known. NYM have a budget in mind and in the event the ask fell that far, they would move. Would be surprised if the other teams listed here don’t offer more than that
Phillies aren’t signing this dude for even Glasnow money.
4/80 would cost the Yankees 4/170. Zero chance.
MARINERS BRASS get off your @ss and sign Monty as your Woo replacement!
What, we gonna offer him a 2-week contract?
Snell should fire boras for turning down $150mil
And montgomery should fire boras for being unemployed after helping a franchise win their first WS title
The agent represents the player. Boras didn’t decline those offers, the players did after Boras engrained the belief they’ll land 7 year deals. There’s a difference. Other Boras clients signed early
Tell that to Freddie Freeman.
Lets – FOUR of the Top 7 free agents are all Boras, and all went unsigned into ST.
JDM was ranked #20, he signed just a day or two ago.
Besides those five, guess how many other Top 50 free agents are Boras clients?
Just two …. neither one ranked in the Top 25.
Hoskins at #26 signed January 23rd and Manaea at #35 signed January 12th.
So if you think Boras had a lot of other free agents that all signed early, think again.
after Boras engrained the belief they’ll land 7 year deals.
===========================
Sure, but isn’t that exactly why you fire someone? The agents advice is why you pay them.
Joe – Exactly! There is zero chance any players would refuse a deal that Boras recommends accepting.
When Boras says take the deal, you take the deal (if it’s a team you want to join).
Snell has 2 yrs and $62M guaranteed or choice to opt out if his season goes well. Barring injury he’s getting another sizeable contract(s). Only time will tell if Snell made right choice.
snell is coming off second cy young and forced to sign what is essentially a 1 yr deal…. WS hero is unemployed…
i never liked boras, never respected boras. he cares zero about his players, zero about the game, zero about fans. he’s a greedy selfish money hungry headline hunting power agent. you can come up with any excuse your heart desires. but he is done after this. no star will sign him as representation. he completely failed on every level with every major FA this offseason.
The market was misjudged by just about everyone this year. Last year they were throwing money around like it grew on trees. This year a lot of teams were forced to take bare bones 1 year TV deals just to get some money. It’s hard to sign guys to 5 and 6 year deals when you don’t know where your next TV buck is coming from. Hopefully owners learned their lesson about dreaming to get big money from Bally’s who are gamblers and they never lose. So Boras guys signed shorter term deals doesn’t mean they lost. They all basically have opt outs or guarantees for at least 2 years in their favor in case of injury so you can’t say that yet.
SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR CAPS LOCK?
@utah I’ll take $62M to be “unemployed”. (lol)
@Johnny Utah And just how many of the 175 MLB players he represents have dropped him since this offseason?
And other than your opinion you care to elaborate on how you know he doesn’t care about the players he represents??
I will bet anything Boras is indeed not “done” at all after this.
I don’t like him, I do respect him, but regardless of what you or I think, he is the best of the best at what he does. Haters gonna hate, but Boras is gonna be just fine.
@Uncle – issue is many of the teams were close to the cap, so one major signing may have been it. the other issue was aside from Ohtani and Yomo, the market wasn’t overly attractive.
Uncle – Why make up crap? Why? Do you think everyone here are all idiots are something?
Ohtani – Record setting contract
Yamamoto – Record setting contract
Hader – Record setting contract
Wheeler – 4th highest AAV in history
Nola – $172M contract
Glasnow – $137M contract
Stop trying to make excuses for Boras, he failed his Top 5 clients horribly.
Tigers – This offseason is still ongoing, obviously. When the players start getting closer to their next contract, THEN we will look and see who drops him.
But history has shown he pulls this BS stall tactic only with top free agents, not lesser ones.
Cards – To be the best you have to replace somebody who was the best. It’s called the circle of life, nothing lasts forever.
Look up Jeremy Kapstein, educate yourself.
padam – Did you not follow baseball the past 5 months?
This was one of the strongest free agent markets for pitchers ever.
Ohtani – Record contract
Yamamoto – Record contract
Hader – Record contract
Nola – $172M contract
Snell – Reigning Cy Young winner
Gray – 4th highest Pitcher WAR in MLB
Monty & ERod – Two very solid SP’s
How did you miss those 7 signings?
Fever Pitch Guy-
Ohtani-Dodgers-Own TV station
Yammamoto-Dodgers-Own TV staion
Glasnow-Dodgers-Own TV Station
Wheeler-Phillies-2.5 Billion Comcast deal
Nola-Phillies- 2.5 Billion dollar Cmcast deal
Gray- Cardinals- Fox Sports- 1 Billion dollar TV contract
Hader- Rangers- Won the WS- Probably a couple of bucks leftover
ERod- Arizona-Lost Ws- Probably had some dough Leftover
How the heck did 7ou miss that
Bellinger-Cubs Own TV station
Snell- San Francisco Giants- NBC contract
Yankees-Own TV Station- Print money
Talk out of your backside much? When you fart do people notice? Do some research before you look stupid.
Tigers he’s not too bright and did no research before he puked up that nonsense. See Below.
He clearly has it out for Boras. Funny is all the pitchers he mentions aside from possibly Glasnow have one thing in common, they re far more desired. Pointing out that Ohtani and a 25 yr old Yamamoto got more means pretty much nothing. Nola younger as well and Wheeler was extended so he had leverage of letting contractvplay out and testing free agency.
As for Glasnow, I ve got chalk that up as an over pay by the Dodgers. He’s amazing when healthy, but that is not normally the case with him.
@Fever “Do you think everyone here are all idiots are something?”
Well you are saying it as though everyone is anti Boras as you, which clearly is not the case. Also the anti Boras types seem to be much more vocal.
But as far as this stance that you think you are so correct, why have 175 MLB players chose to sign with his conpany?? I think they know a bit more than anybof us here as far as who and what’s best for their careers.
Uncle – It’s sad when you can’t even remember your own posts.
You wrote two things that are total crap:
1) You said teams weren’t spending. I gave 6 examples of massive contracts given out. Who gives a crap which teams gave them.
2) You said the Boras 5 made out well. What kind of idiot would think passing up $150M+ contracts for a fraction of the amount isn’t a loss. If any of those guys has a bad year or a severe injury they are screwed. They took what they could because they ran out of time thanks to your idol Boras.
Tigers – Nah I just have it out for ignorance and idol worship.
Look at the projected contracts, look at the money given to non-Boras clients, look at the last 5 guys to sign and all much smaller contracts than expected… all Boras clients.
The entire baseball world is talking about how Boras got his butt handed to him, but you people keep covering your ears and reciting “Boras is a god” over and over. It’s truly sad.
5 of the players you mentioned signed(or extended) with 2 teams. 2 teams out of 30 spending significantly is no way indicative of league wide spending by all teams. And as for Gray his first 2 years are guaranteed and for $60M. So if you want to use Gray as an example Snell’s name goes right there next to his.
The projected contracts were by fans and analysts, players not getting contracts others are guessi.g they’ll get means nothing.
And no I’m not saying nor have I said once Boras is a God. I ve never met the man so I have no reason to think one way or the other being an outside observer to him doing the small portions of his job that the public is privy to. I just call things like I see it and to me 4 of the 5 players had question marks or and some pushing into their 30s. The lone exception I think is Monty who was the top of the 2nd tier of free agents this offseason. After the top tier guys went, it seems teams opted for the slew of bargain options instead of splurging on a guy who has been a 2 to 3 in rotation arm his whole career. Had he been a free agent last year I think he’d have gotten a longterm deal a month ago. The TV deal fiasco, extending controllable players, and teams already over luxury tax threshold look to have made him the odd man out.
And if people disagree with your opinion that makes them ignorant??
I am not sure you meant to prove my point for me but I am glad that you did such a good job of doing so. You mentioned Kapstein, and I looked him up. Not only did Boras replace him, they retroactively named Kapstein “the Boras of his time”. That in and of itself should leave absolutely no doubt in your mind who the actual greatest of all time is.
You keep saying silly things like idol worship, but acknowledging that someone is the best of the best when they are so clearly such, is just a statement of fact. You can have Boras Derangement Syndrome all you want, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is both the greatest sports agents alive and a free dweller in your head.
Tigers – How many teams made offers of at least $300M to Yamamoto? Take your time, I’ll wait.
Even my cheapskate Red Sox made an offer to Yamamoto and massively overpaid on other guys.
$38.5M guaranteed for a pitcher with a 5 ERA the past two years. Think about that …. Sox could have had Snell instead for just $23M more. Great job, Boras!
Tigers – Of course not, ignorance is making statements that are easily proven to be not true.
Cards – Boras of his time obviously means he was the best for many years, just like Boras …. keyword WAS.
If you want to insist Boras is the greatest of all time, I’m fine with that. What I will vigorously object to are statements in which you people claim he’s still the best right now, and claim he didn’t have FIVE big losses this offseason just because he’s Boras.
He still talking out of the other side of his mouth? All the Big money was spent by teams with the biggest TV contracts. The day of the League having a TV deal split equally is over. Is he too stupid to notice? Yeah some of the money gets spread equally but there will always be a big gap between them. I have so many questions for him. How does he get dressed without help? Can he walk and chew gum at the same time? Can he spell Cat without a letter head start? If he can’t see that all the big money was spent by the teams with the biggest TV deals can he even watch baseball being blind? Is he from here?? And by here I mean, Earth. All questions we need answers to before we condemn another short bus person.
Not if the haters are the ones sitting across the table from him not offering contracts anymore.
Is there any chance Baltimore signs Montgomery after the vote on Wednesday?
I think they’re barking up the wrong tree in NYC at this point.
Doubtful NYY would announce Gil as the 5th starter if so. I think most fans are ok with this at this point. I am at least–but I’m not the biggest Monty guy.
Have the Mets had a change of heart after sign JDM about their season? Eh I could imagine Cohen being that type of owner that changes his mind midstream because well he’s proven that already, but still I kinda feel like they’re set with their rotation of 4-5th starters…
Seattle seems to make some sense, lost Bryan Woo today. Either way, I think he’s just signing a one year deal after Opening Day.
I could see the mets feeling montgomery fits a need for them for the next five years, so not a total departure from strategy. Maybe they would go there if the price came down more (5-110 range maybe).
@Salzilla If Monty were to sign he’s most likely missing one time through rotation at least. I just don’t see them signing him with the luxury tax they re paying.
Monty will need minimum 30 days and 4 starts to be ready. May is his timeline as no point rushing him plus his salary will be prorated for 2024 due to time missed.
Total speculation- Mets 2yr. 42 million
88.2 after tax. Tough pill to swallow even for Cohen bc it doesn’t move the needle much with the current state of their rotation
doesn’t move the needle much with the current state of their rotation
=============================
Do the NYMs really have a “current state”? It feels like everything is made up as they go along.
How do the Yankees and Mets plan to reconcile their perceived valuation of Montgomery as a pitcher with his reported asking price, especially considering the recent trend in free agent contracts and the competitive landscape in the MLB pitching market?
They don’t need to reconcile anything. They can just choose to not sign him.

The Cubs already have Montgomery, His First name is even the same except ours is younger and cheaper. So before anybody starts that rumor I’m shutting it down.
End of Story
Oops- Jordan Montgomery for the grammar police.
Wicks is a very good young pitcher– one can’t argue with that. But is he part of a totally solid starting rotation and does he have postseason experience?
Although there are those who say Montgomery “won’t move the needle much,” there are others who think otherwise.
The only way they’re going to find out is let him pitch the same as the Yankees did with Montgomery. People will say I’m prejudiced but I think Wicks has a better change and slider than Montgomery.
I don’t think that you’re prejudiced– I think that you have a personal opinion (just like I do).
For Jordan Wicks to pitch in the postseason, the team has to make it to the postseason. I think the team has a much better chance if the starting rotation is improved now rather than later.
We’re both fans of the same team, so of course we both want the team to do well!
Cool, Always nice to meet a fellow fan. I think Wicks has one of the best Change Ups in the game. I’ll take that pitch over the banana slider everyone tries to throw. I just remember Johann Santana dominating with basically a fastball and devastating change and making people look silly. I also think that hanging with Kyle Hendricks all season can only lead to better things. If he can learn to bend that Change Up both ways like Hendricks does, It’s lmost an extra pitch in his arsenal.
Montgomery “won’t move the needle much,”
==================
That requires context. If you are Oakland, it doesn’t move the needle at all. If you project to 82 wins and you have a really bad #5, I’d argue it is a big needle mover.
Yes, “I have several long-term offers on the table….But I choose to sit out Spring Training and a portion of the season because….. well, just know I have the offers out there.”
Very, very, very believable quote. Not even Ippei would take that bet, and he rarely sees a bet he doesn’t like, apparently.
LMAO. As long as it wasn’t his money why not? LMAO again.
Hey where’s Ippei’s trial going to be? Japan? I wonder where he stole the money from? I was going to say fit him for an orange jumpsuit but I don’t know what color they wear in Japan.
I’ve lost interest in Jordan Montgomery
Somehow I doubt that 🙂
My money is on the Mets or Red Sox.
Yeah, I feel the same way. Although, I could see the O’s or Cards as plausible options here too, if his demands lessened.
The O’s would be a really interesting team to jump on this…
O’s actually make the most sense. They have a new owner who pushed for the Burnes trade, have a great young team that could use more pitching, and have the payroll space to not get shafted by the luxury tax.
The Reds would even be more interesting!
I am laughing too, like that will ever happen.
He has no long term offers. If he had, he would have signed. What a crock of crap
The Mets are a stupid franchise if they sign Montgomery. They dethroned their best two pitchers last year (Verlander and Scherzer) to clear money (supposedly), only to go and use that same money this year on pitchers who aren’t even as good as those two they traded away.
Those weren’t really money-clearing moves, as the Mets are still paying a good deal of those contracts. They were more like roster-clearing moves to get back some prospects.
Mets signed Martinez to show their fans they’re in it for this season. Their rotation is in bad shape, especially without Senga, so they could be perusing Montgomery to REALLY be in it for this season. Having said that, I still don’t see him as a Met. My money is on the Yankees.
Then they were really stupid then. They should not have traded BOTH Verlander and Scherzer. If they really wanted to be in it, they’d still have one of those pitchers on their roster. That brings up my point that they’re rebuilding what they broke down last year and they’re doing a worse job of it. I get that both pitchers are older and injury prone but no one brings more to the winning table than Verlander and Scherzer.
I get strong Patrick Corbin vibes from this guy. I think Montgomery can be effective but I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes off the rails, either. I have no idea who signs him but I think whatever team it is will regret it by 2026 if not sooner.
Montgomery has performed better than expected, can he continue to do that? Also, his teams are 45-49 in games he’s started the last three seasons. His xFIP was over 4 in the second half last year and regardless of winning the world series he’s allowed more hits than innings pitched with just four strike outs and a FIP over 5.00 in his last 13 post season innings. Also, with men in scoring position he walked 10% of batters with a 1.34WHIP….
Also Montgomery had an 80% strand rate on the road with the Rangers, No way that stays at 80%, which is probably why his road ERA was 1.67. When he was with St.. Luis his road strand rate was 69% and his earned run average was 3.34…..when he had runners on base for home games with Texas his earned run average was over 7.00, on the road with runners on it was 2.45.
He also gave up 177 hits last year, his pitch quality was in the 18th percentile, 10.2% of pitches he threw inside the zone were classified as mistake pitches by pitcher list.
Also, do you really think New York won’t change his approach again
This guy is massively overrated.
The Yankees consistently being “leaked” as having interest in Montgomery is not coming from the Yankees. It’s Boras. I think their interest in him is at best tepid.
Teams seem to sense Montgomery’s asking price is coming back to reality, so now any number of teams might sign him. Rumors in Arizona that the Dbacks have interest in signing him. Sounds like there are no short term high average annual value offers with opt outs. Rather 4 or 5 year deals with AAV at or under $20M per.
Agree he be wise to jump all over 5/95 with no opt outs cause no team that is in tax penalty losing 2 picks, $1 million bonus pool $$ plus pay 110% tax so he can opt out after 1 yr. Monty is screwed unless he wants to play for crap team.
To not risk injury I think Montgomery should take a month in AAA to prepare for the season. He is probably throwing and other exercise but it’s not the same or enough
2 years 38 million opt out after 1
Or 7 years 105 million, dude isn’t pitching before May 1st he would be lucky to get 18 million this year missing 20 percent of the season
Is sparing Cohen the embarrassment of another 70-odd win season really worth wasting Montgomery’s age 31 and 32 seasons?
The Mets won’t be contending in 2025, either, so why would you do this? Why would you waste the heart of, say, a 5 year deal on years you won’t contend, only to be dragging a 33-35 year old Monty through the Mets contenders in 2026-2028?
Stearns can hope to add opt-outs sufficient to get Monty off the Mets roster in 2025, but what if he’s hurt? What if he decides to stick around?
This is silly. The Mets don’t have even one 55 FV prospect in the minors. They’re not going anywhere this year or next and even if that minor miracle happens, is getting bounced in the first round really worth it? Come on. Stop this nonsense.
The Yankees, on the other hand, really should bring him back—but only on a one-year deal.
Mets. One year deal. Mad deferrals.
AZ swoops in again!
Just more propaganda Wilpon style by Mets and Cohen – Mets werent signing Monty – by the end of July Pete will be gone along with Marte with the Mets eating 10 mil for next yr – Bader – Quintana – and whoever they can trade to reduce payroll – dont be surprised if Diaz goes also
Nice pitching Phillies , 20’runs in 2 games.
