GOODYEAR, Ariz. - The Cincinnati Reds have named free agent signee Frankie Montas as their Opening Day starting pitcher.
Montas will take the ball when the Reds host the Washington Nationals on Thursday, March 28th at Great American Ballpark.
Montas has a record of (37-35) with a 3.90 ERA in 130 appearances and 99 starts during his eight year big-league career. He signed a one-year $16 million contract during the offseason in hopes of having a bounce-back season after battling shoulder issues as a member of the New York Yankees, where he appeared in only 10 games over two seasons. Last season, Montas pitched in just 1 1/3 inning.
Montas was the Opening Day starter as a member of the Oakland A's in 2020 and 2022.
