Dodgers Add Brandon Morrow On Minor League Deal
4 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers agreed to a minor league deal with relief pitcher Brandon Morrow on Friday, according to sources. Morrow will be returning to the Blue after pitching for the team in 2017, when he had a nice 2.06 ERA in 45 games while appearing in all seven World Series games later that year. The right-hander then signed a two-year, $21 million contract with the Cubs, but he's basically been injured since. The 36-year-old hasn't pitched in the big leagues since the final day before the 2018 All-Star break. Morrow also had a 1.47 ERA in 30 2/3 innings in the first half of 2018, so he can be effective when healthy, but at this point one has to wonder if he can stay healthy at all. He'll be a quality depth arm that could also pitch in some high-leverage situations if he proves healthy and effective.
