Brad Hand Signs With Rockies
2 years agoThe Colorado Rockies have reached an agreement with free agent relief pitcher Brad Hand. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal worth $2 million for the 2023 season. This deal also includes a $7 million club option for the 2024 campaign. The left-hander posted a 2.80 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 38/23 K/BB ratio 45 innings with the Philadelphia Phillies last season. This is an odd fit for Hand, but he should immediately become a high-leverage pitcher in Colorado. The three-time All-Star is a significant upgrade to this bullpen, but will really only have fantasy value if he becomes the closer.
