Is a Cody Bellinger for Jordan Montgomery swap a stroke of genius or a desperate gamble? Both players carry hefty contracts and coming off disappointing seasons, yet offer intriguing potential.

Arizona seemingly wants to dump Montgomery's salary after a disastrous first year, while the Cubs are stuck with Bellinger's contract. Could this be a mutually beneficial salary dump, or is one team getting fleeced?

Montgomery's disastrous 2024 raises red flags. Was it a fluke due to missing Spring Training, or a sign of decline? Can he regain his previous form and justify his salary? Conversely, Bellinger represents a gamble. Will he recapture his MVP form or remain an overpaid, inconsistent player?

The Cubs appear hesitant. Are they right to hold out for a better deal, or is the opportunity to shed Bellinger's contract too tempting to pass up? Furthermore, does this trade make sense for either team's long-term plans? The D'Backs face significant payroll flexibility after 2025, but is Bellinger the right piece to add? Do the Cubs have a better option for improving their rotation?

Weigh in with your analysis and predictions. Is this a smart move for either team, or a recipe for disaster?
