WHO IS Miguel Montero?

In Game One of the 2016 NL Championship Series, Montero hit a pinch-hit grand slam in the eighth inning to lead the Cubs to an 8–4 victory over the Dodgers. It was the third pinch-hit grand slam in postseason history.
On June 27, 2017, the Washington Nationals went seven-for-seven in stolen bases against Montero, who blamed starting pitcher Jake Arrieta for the thefts. The following day, the Cubs designated Montero for assignment.
