I agree 100% with both the “eye roll” and Montgomery over Snell comments.  

In another era, Boras would have led the nation in snake oil sales.  

Prior to either player signing, I posted that Montgomery was the better option.  What I don’t know is whether he would have considered signing with SF.  Maybe the Giants had no choice.  Regardless, they are stuck with Snell.  We can only hope he comes back and makes a contribution.  

Lastly, Swanson had zero interest in signing with SF.  He was never a consideration.

I can’t see why Montgomery would not have come to SF.  He wanted to stay on East Coast, particularly Boston, as his wife is a resident in a Boston hospital.  But that ship sailed fairly quickly.  

He also wanted the long term deal that obviously didn’t materialize.  I think once Snell was signed he saw the writing on the wall.
