Miguel Montero apologizes to Jake Arrieta in return to Wrigley Field
Former Cubs catcher Miguel Montero returned to Wrigley Field on Friday for
the first time since he was released by the team.
“It wasn’t the nicest way to go to leave Chicago,” he said to CSN Chicago’
s Kelly Crull before Friday’s game. “It’s in the past. It was tough and
difficult. It was hard.”
‘‘It really sucked because the stolen bases go to me, and when you really
look at it, the pitcher doesn’t give me any time,’’ Montero said after the
game. ‘‘Simple as that.’’
“It’s too bad I left as a bad teammate,” Montero said. “I’ve played with
a lot of guys and no one has ever said that about me.
“I’m happy where I’m at – not that I wasn’t happy over there. I honestly
wish I wouldn’t have left because of those reasons. I don’t regret
anything. It happened. I feel bad for Jake and that’s why I apologized to
him.”
