PHOENIX—The Arizona Diamondbacks and left-handed pitcher Jordan Montgomery have agreed on a one-year, $25 million contract with a vesting option for 2025, according to a person familiar with the deal.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday night because the agreement was subject to a successful physical. The option for next year can become guaranteed to Montgomery if he makes at least 10 starts this season.
