Reds Sign Montas

I would much rather he have gotten TJ than shoulder surgery. Guys come back from TJ a lot nowadays, shoulders end careers and this guy was hardly the healthiest of players even before this shoulder surgery.

Can you clarify what you mean here? Because Montas, as far as I know, played the majority of the 2022 season, with the exception of a couple weeks in July that he seems to have missed. He was traded to the Yankees and started for the rest of the season with them, starting every ~5 games from August 7th to September 16th. He looks like he missed 2 or 3 starts at the end of the season, and made 1 relief appearance in the playoffs for them. 

So he missed maybe 5 or 6 starts over the course of the 2022 season. I can't find much written about why, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was the shoulder injury at the end there. But I'd be hard pressed to call it a "ton of time" missed in 2022.

Then, obviously he missed most of 2023, but the one game he appeared in was at the end of the season, so that's a good sign that he was healthy enough to play at the end, meaning the rehab of the shoulder was already completed and he was in game shape. This season was likely a fairly normal off season for him, relatively speaking.
