00:00The Diamondbacks owner, Ken Kendrick, went on some radio station in Arizona this morning,

00:08Scotty, and he absolutely shredded Jordan Montgomery and the signing, basically told

00:14the hosts, who were kind of getting into why did the team sign him, he goes, I take all

00:19the blame, my front office didn't want, he wasn't in their plans, I pushed for it, I'm

00:24the one who wanted it, it all falls with me, it's the worst signing we've ever made as

00:29an organization, because completely going off on Montgomery, who as we know was brutal,

00:34he had like a six and a half ERA for the Snakes this year, now, remember this, he has an opt-in

00:42with Arizona for 22 and a half million dollars this year, and I gotta tell you, he's probably,

00:48you probably gotta take that, right, Scotty, because with the way he pitched this year,

00:53I'm not sure he could get 22 and a half million bucks next year, so that's a bridge that's

00:57gonna have to be repaired when he accepts that 22 and a half million dollar option.

01:02I don't think, I don't think so, there's no way after that guy went on the air today and

01:09talked that badly about him, and basically called him a piece of shack, that that kid's

01:16gonna play for that team ever again, not one more game, ever, he's gonna leave, and let

01:21me tell you something, he's a lefty, and he will have offers, I'll tell you, the Yankees

01:26will take it back in five seconds.
