LHP Jordan Montgomery has hired Wasserman’s Joel Wolfe & Nick Chanock as his agents, per sources.
Montgomery was one of the Boras Four, who were unsigned late into free agency.

LOOKS LIKE SHOHEI IS IN THE CLEAR…..
Shohei Ohtani had no idea his translator was gambling millions of dollars, and the feds have concluded not only was the Dodger star NOT involved in the scheme, he was a victim of fraud ... law enforcement sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports.
The feds have been investigating Ippei Mizuhara, Ohtani's longtime translator, close friend, and functionally his manager. Mizuhara gambled away millions, reportedly at least $4.5 million, and after the story broke he said Ohtani had covered the debt.
Our sources say the feds, who launched an investigation last month, have concluded Mizuhara was lying -- that Ohtani was completely in the dark over the gambling debt, and Mizuhara embezzled from one of Ohtani's accounts without the pitcher's knowledge.

| |  |  | |  |  | Suns win over the Bones Hyland Clippers means the Warriors can’t pass them.
Golden State’s hopes for the No. 8 seed now rest on Sacramento or New Orleans faltering. They face each other Thursday. | | | | 4/10/24, 9:51 PM |
| |

Out West, the focus tonight is on the New Orleans-Sacramento game. The Kings are clinging to a scenario where they win out, the Pelicans drop their final three games, and Sacramento steals the sixth seed. New Orleans closes with the Warriors and Lakers, so it’s not completely far-fetched.
Watching closely will be Phoenix. The Suns have to win out and hope the Pelicans lose at least once to grab the sixth spot; any combination of three Suns losses and Pelicans wins clinches the sixth spot for New Orleans.
Meanwhile, the Kings can still finish tenth. A loss and a Golden State win would leave the Lakers, Warriors and Kings knotted at 45-35; Sacramento still has that tie-break, however, as well as winning two-way ties against both. The Lakers and Warriors would both need two Kings losses and no more of their own to slip past Sacramento. Golden State also wins the tiebreak with the Lakers, incidentally, and will move up to ninth, presuming it beats Portland tonight.
However, the thing we really care about is MAXIMUM CHAOS. So let me present to you a scenario where the Lakers and Warriors win out, the Kings beat New Orleans and Portland but lose to Phoenix, and the Suns lose to Minnesota.
In that case, we finish the season with a five-way tie at 47-35 between New Orleans, Sacramento, Phoenix, the Lakers and Warriors.
Sadly, the resolution of that tie would be relatively straightforward rather than dragging us into a netherworld of records vs conference playoff teams and other arcana from the tiebreaker chart. Based on the first tie-break, head-to-head record, Phoenix would be sixth, Golden State seventh, Sacramento eighth, New Orleans ninth and the Lakers tenth.
Still, it illustrates that the Pelicans' work isn’t done; falling to ninth and needing two wins next week just to make the playoff field would be quite a fall.
Denver has control of the top seed in the West after last night’s win over Minnesota, but the Nuggets’ work isn’t over. They have a difficult game in San Antonio on Friday, with Victor Wembanyama likely to play, and a loss there would put Oklahoma City back in pole position to steal the top seed. The Thunder win a three-way tie with Denver and Minnesota, while the Nuggets land third. Denver surely won’t lose its finale, however, against the leftover shards of a shattered Memphis team.
If the Nuggets finish first, Minnesota wins the two-way tie-break with Oklahoma City for second. Both teams are tied and likely have at least one difficult game left; Minnesota on Sunday against Phoenix, and Oklahoma City at home against Milwaukee on Friday. I expect their other opponents (Atlanta for the Wolves, Dallas for the Thunder) to rest players based on locked-in playoff positions.
The Clippers’ loss to Phoenix means L.A. still needs one win or one Dallas loss to seal the 4th seed; regardless, they will face the Mavs in the first round. With the Clips having a flagging Utah team up next, this one still seems safe.

MEL’S LATEST — I ODNT LIKE HIS MOCK PICK FOR 49ERS….
Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington
I'm going to stick with my projection from Mock Draft 3.0, as Rosengarten could challenge Colton McKivitz for snaps at right tackle. Rosengarten didn't allow any sacks in his 1,158 pass-blocking snaps for the Huskies. He also has some familiarity with one of San Francisco's stars, as Christian McCaffrey's dad, Ed, was his high school coach for two seasons at Valor Christian in Colorado.
