Montgomery pitched in a couple games in the minors before joining the D-Backs this year.

His minor league stats were: 0-0, 7.2 innings pitched, nine strikeouts and a 10.57 ERA.  

Since his return to the majors, he is: 1-1, 13 innings pitched, seven strikeouts and a 2.08 ERA.  

Prior to signing with AZ, Montgomery agreed to start the season in the minors.  That was a joint decision made by Boras, AZ executive leadership and Montgomery. The Giants should have pursued a similar arrangement re: Snell.  Instead, Zaidi dropped the ball and dumped the problem into Melvin’s lap.  FZ made a significant mistake.

Wasn't his first, by a long shot, and wasn't his last. But listening to Boras talk about how he keeps his athletes "in MLB shape at (his) training complex" induces a massive eyeroll. Everyone should have known better, particularly with a pitcher who gets as injured as often as Snell does.
