Andrew Chafin News
Free-agent relief pitcher Andrew Chafin has agreed to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 32-year-old signs a one-year contract worth $6.5 million for the 2023 season. It's odd that the lefty reliever lasted in free agency for this long. He has posted some consistent seasons in the past. Last season, Chafin finished with a 2.83 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 67/19 K/BB ratio across 57 1/3 innings with the Detroit Tigers. The expectation is that he'll compete for the closing role with the Diamondbacks. That being said, he could have fantasy value if he does secure the ninth-inning role.
Per a tweet from the New York Post's Jon Heyman on Wednesday, the market for free agent reliever Andrew Chafin is reportedly "heating up now." Heyman tweeted the following: "Andrew Chafin market heating up now. Mets are among teams in on one of the top lefty relievers. They've also talked to Zack Britton (Buck O's connection)." Chafin enjoyed a strong season out of the bullpen for the Detroit Tigers in 2022, pitching to a 2.83 ERA and a 3.06 FIP in 57.1 innings of work. He added 67 strikeouts compared to just 19 walks allowed while finishing with 19 holds, three saves and a pair of pitcher wins.
Detroit Tigers left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin intends to decline his $6.5 million player option to become a free agent this offseason, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Chafin will be seeking a multi-year deal on the open market, but there's a chance the Tigers could re-sign him. Meanwhile, second baseman Jonathan Schoop doesn't plan on using his opt-out clause and will return for 2023. The 32-year-old Chafin was dominant as a high-leverage reliever this year, posting a 2.83 ERA with 19 walks and 67 strikeouts in 57 1/3 innings in 2022. Opponents hit just 0.85 with a home run and a 60.4 percent swing-and-miss rate against his slider. Chafin also locked down three saves, but it remains to be seen if he'll latch on with a team that will make him a full-time closer entering the 2023 campaign.
