Jordan Montgomery's wife will see husband land big contract

Jordan Montgomery is in line for a payday.

Being the partner of an MLB player has its perks, and a potentially big contract is certainly one of them. Jordan Montgomery's wife, McKenzie, knows that, as her husband is poised to sign a rich deal soon.

Montgomery, who is represented by Scott Boras, is one of the top pitchers in the market and is expected to sign a pretty substantial contract.

Several teams are expected to have interest. That includes the Boston Red Sox, who have reportedly already reached out, as they familiar with Montgomery from his time in the AL East.

The New York Yankees, his former team, are also expected to show interest in bringing him back after they traded him to the St. Louis Cardinals in 2022. The Cardinals are also expected to try and bring him back.

How much he will sign for remains to be seen, but there's a very good chance that he gets a long contract, as he's only 30 and has rounded into form recently with the Texas Rangers.
