Jake Walsh Signs Minor-League Contract With The Braves
Free agent relief pitcher Jake Walsh has signed a minor league deal with the Atlanta Braves that includes an invite to spring training. Walsh is 28 years old but has very limited major league experience. He only pitched 2/2 innings last season with the St. Louis Cardinals and allowed four earned runs, so it's hard to judge him off such a small sample size. However, he does own a career 2.69 ERA and 1.102 WHIP over six minor league seasons 237 2/3 innings as both a starter and a reliever. This is a notable transaction considering Atlanta's track record of success in developing both starters and relievers.
