Will the Frankie Montas era come to an end? The Dominican fireballer has provided Oakland A’s fans with seven years of impressive four-seam bullets, looping breaking balls and great memories.
Since coming back from an early-July injury, Montas has looked adept on the mound as trade rumors swirl around the Coliseum and the A’s home clubhouse. When he toes the rubber, his teammates know their chances of winning rise exponentially.
“I see an elite pitcher,” teammate Vimael Machín said of the pitcher with a 3.18 ERA over 19 starts in 2022. “We know that if we score a couple of runs, we might have a chance to win the game.”
