Jordan Montgomery of the Texas Rangers Hallelujah! It might happen.  The Red Sox have a chance to do something AMAZING. They could do what the fans, players, executives, and analysts have been saying to do for the entire offseason.  The Red Sox have a chance to sign Jordan Montgomery.  On Monday morning, Buster Olney reported that Jordan Montgomery and the Boston Red Sox ‘recently met over Zoom.  Six days ago, Rafael Devers said in his press conference that the team “needs to be more conscious of what are the weaknesses and what we need right now.” Naturally, the reporter asked,  “What do you need right now?”  Devers’ response?
