Good for the Cubs. When your backup catcher is calling out the entire pitching staff in public (including guys that aren't even on the team anymore), he gotta go.
The friggen catcher is saying this. Unreal. What a dick. |
It's about ****ing time. It's sad that Montero had to take matters into his own hands to finally get released. The guy has been an absolute waste of a 40 man spot, let alone a 25 man spot, ever since he was traded for. He's actually embarrassing defensively. He's thrown out just 8 base runners in his last 2 seasons and couldn't even throw out Yadier Molina earlier this year and I'm convinced he avoids calling for breaking balls because if it's in the dirt it's inevitably going to find it's way to the backstop.
If the Cubs can get a pack of Big League Chew for his in a trade it will be amazing, but having him the **** off the team is addition by subtraction.
If the Cubs ate most if not all of his remaining salary a deal will be done with someone for a lottery ticket type prospect. There are teams out there that need a body behind the plate like the Rays who just released Norris.
