A.J. Griffin News
Free-agent starting pitcher A.J. Griffin signed with the New York Mets, according to James Wagner of the New York Times. Griffin signed a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training after being non-tendered by the Rangers in December. He posted a 5.94 ERA over 15 starts and three relief appearances in 2017 and has not enjoyed much success in the majors since 2013. Griffin figures to function as rotation depth in Triple-A.
The Texas Rangers have non-tendered pitcher A.J. Griffin. Griffin has always shown potential with the As, and last season was his first with the Rangers. Griffin posted a 5.94 ERA over 15 starts and three relief appearances in 2017. Hell be looking for a spring training invitation.
Rangers starter A.J. Griffin had a short outing against the Athletics on Sunday, when he allowed three runs (on two homers) in just 3 1/3 innings en route to his fifth loss of the season. Griffin has shown the ability to string nice outings together with the use of his slow curveball, but his extreme flyball rate and inflated hard contact rate make him extremely difficult to trust on a regular basis. His ERA moves to 5.26 in 13 starts this season as a result of the poor showing. He will look to get back on track when he takes on the Angels next weekend.
