Tyler Clippard Agrees With Diamondbacks
4 years agoThe Arizona Diamondbacks signed free-agent relief pitcher Tyler Clippard to a one-year, $2.25 million deal on Monday night, according to multiple reports. The deal includes $1.75 million this year and a $3.5 million mutual option for the 2022 season with a $500,000 buyout. The 36-year-old right-hander is a two-time All-Star and has made 777 appearances over 14 seasons with a 3.13 career ERA. Clippard posted a 2.77 ERA in 26 relief outings for the Twins in 2020. He appeared in 40 games with Arizona back in 2016 before he was traded to the Yankees. Clippard could have a chance at saves in a competition with veteran right-hander Joakim Soria, but at best, Clippard will be a low-end closing option for a team that isn't expected to win many games in 2021.
