Montz signed a minor league contract with the Red Sox, Matt Eddy of Baseball America reports. |
Montz dealt with a shoulder injury to start the 2014 season, and played in just 14 games last season, all of which were at rookie ball. He will likely start 2014 either at High-A or Double-A. |
Sun Mar 16 2014 | 20:23 | A's reassign Montz and Martinez to minors |
Athletics reassigned C Luke Montz and INF Jose Martinez to minor league camp on Sunday. |
Neither one was expected to crack the Opening Day roster. The 30-year-old Montz had a nice spring, hitting .292 (7-for-24) with a pair of homers and five RBI. He could get a look at some point during the 2014 season. |

Thu Feb 20 2014 | 19:47 | Luke Montz limited following shoulder surgery |
Luke Montz is currently limited to catching bullpen sessions as he works his way back from offseason shoulder surgery. |
It's possible he could see some time in the DH spot or at first base next week when the exhibition games start, but he's not able to throw full-out from behind the plate yet. Montz re-signed with the A's on a minor league deal in October and will give them depth at Triple-A. |
