Fantasy Impact:
In the deal, the Tigers add some postseason experience as Montero won a World Series with the Astros in 2022 when he posted a 2.37 ERA in 71 regular-season appearances. He has worked to a 5.40 ERA in 39 outings between the Astros and Braves in 2025, but his 4.38 xFIP and 4.31 SIERA suggest he has been better than his surface ERA suggests.
