Well it is no surprise that Cubs catcher Miguel Montero received his walking papers today. Less than 12 hours after his tirade against Cubs ACE Jake Arrieta as the reason why he gave up 7 stolen bases in the game, the Cubbies DFA'ed him. Which means he will be released. They could put him on waivers but I don't see any team picking him when they can wait for his release. He certainly wont be sent to the minors...so expect this guy to be a free agent soon.
It was a bizarre, crybaby, and selfish thing to do to call out a teammate. Let alone your ACE. He needs a dose of reality. he is 0-31 on throwing out base runners this year. The Nationals DID NOT attempt to steal 7 bases yesterday because of Arrieta. They did so because Montero can not throw anyone out. lol.
The Cubs do not lose much. Montero is on the downside of his career. Last year was his worst year and even though the Cubs won the World Series he still complained about the way Joe Madden used him. lol...EARTH to MONTERO...you won the WORLD SERIES because you were SELDOM used. lol
Anyhow, let hope this is a lesson to everyone. Keep all your baggage IN HOUSE. Taking it to the media NEVER works out.
