Despite pairing with Kyle Hendricks most of spring training, Montero's starts during the regular season will depend more on the opposing pitcher, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was looking like Montero might be a personal catcher for Hendricks, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon dismissed that notion. "It benefits (Montero) and us to put him out there with the right pitcher," Maddon said. "Willson (Contreras) has Jon Lester, but otherwise it's wide open." Expect Contreras to get the bulk of the starts behind the plate for Chicago, with Montero spelling him on occasion.
