A one-year, $16 million contract between Montas and Cincinnati became official on Tuesday after he passed his physical. A deal was agreed upon Saturday.

“I know he has an injury history, but we were going to bring him in for a physical anyway,” Reds president of baseball operations Nick Krall said. “So we brought him in, did the physical and felt good about where he has been. He’s been a very good Major League pitcher in the past and he has a ton of upside to get back to where he was. If he’s that guy again, he’s a toward-the-top-of-the-rotation type guy.”

    We are at least pretending to field a team this year that might compete. We’ll see how it goes.
