Josh Tomlin Returns To Braves
4 years agoRight-handed pitcher Josh Tomlin agreed to a $1 million deal on Wednesday to return to the Atlanta Braves for a third season. The deal includes a 2022 team option worth $1.25 million. The 36-year-old went 2-2 with a 4.76 ERA in 17 games for the Braves in 2020. Tomlin was much better as a reliever (2.95 ERA in 12 outings) than he was as a starter (6.33 ERA in five starts). The veteran swing man has a 4.69 career ERA, and his 1.31 walks per nine innings ranks best among all active pitchers with at least 900 innings. Atlanta still has a very young rotation, so there's a chance that Tomlin will make more starts in 2021, but he's not a very attractive fantasy streamer.
