RIP Greg Montalbano
Unfortunately we have some sad news to report this afternoon. Former Sox farmhand Greg Montalbano passed away on Friday after a fourteen year battle with cancer. A fifth-round pick in 1999 out of Northeastern, Montalbano played in the Sox system until 2004, and during that time was named the Red Sox minor league pitcher of the year in 2001. Our prayers and condolences go out to the Montalbano family.
