The Texas Rangers signed 2023 postseason hero Jordan Montgomery to a one-year contract on Friday.

Montgomery excelled while helping the Rangers win their lone World Series title. He departed as a free agent after the 2023 season.

The left-handed Montgomery signed a deal worth $1.25 million in base salary that includes performance bonuses, according to multiple reports.

Montgomery, 33, didn't pitch last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2025. He is still rehabbing the injury.

Montgomery broke into the majors in 2017 with the New York Yankees. He was pitching for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2023 when he was shipped to the Rangers at the trade deadline.

Montgomery went 4-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 11 regular-season starts to help Texas narrowly slide into the postseason as the final American League wild-card team.

He turned it up in the postseason by going 3-1 with a 2.90 ERA in six appearances (five starts). He won two games in the AL Championship Series against the Houston Astros and the Rangers went on to defeat the Arizona Diamondbacks in the World Series.

Montgomery ironically signed with Arizona and earned $25 million in 2024 while experiencing a horrendous campaign. He went 8-7 with a 6.23 ERA in 25 games (21 starts).

Overall, Montgomery is 46-41 with a 4.03 ERA in 166 appearances (161 starts) with the Yankees (2017-22), Cardinals (2022-23), Rangers (2023), Diamondbacks (2024-25) and Milwaukee Brewers (2025). Though injured, Milwaukee acquired Montgomery at last season's trade deadline.
