After re-reading the comments above, I'm actually wondering if what they're trying to do is build trade value TO MOVE Montero. Maybe management WANTS to move him due to attitude problems, but recognizes that he has value in terms of talent (and thus want at least 50 cents for the dollar). Thus, they want someone to pick him up for "more than a bag of balls". That would explain the lack of major league playing time, but also unwillingness to just dump him. Just my 2 cents.
