There are no images in the Getty folder of Frankie Montas throwing pitches while wearing a Cincinnati Reds uniform. He seemingly signed just a couple of minutes ago, and while he’s made a pair of starts for the Reds in Cactus League play, apparently there wasn’t an image captured in his 4.2 IP on the mound.
Nevertheless, Reds manager David Bell made the call on Sunday that Montas, who signed a contract that will guarantee him $16 million before he and the team get to almost certainly decline a mutual option for 2025, will start for the Reds against the Washington Nationals on Opening Day.
