Jorge De La Rosa signs a minor league contract with Arizona
Former Colorado Rockies pitcher Jorge De La Rosa has signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, which includes an invitation to spring training.
There had been reports that the Pittsburgh Pirates were interested in De La Rosa earlier in the off-season, but after a couple of quiet months on that front, he has landed in Arizona. He stands to earn $2.25 million if he plays in the majors this season, and this deal will give him a shot to earn a place in the opening day bullpen in Arizona.
De La Rosa had a fairly rough 2016 season, turning in a 5.51 ERA and 4.81 xFIP that were both his worst since the 2012 campaign. He finished with an 8-9 record through 27 appearances (24 starts) while turning in a 17.6 percent strikeout and 10.3 percent walk rate.
