Veteran right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, a mostly solid presence in the Rockies’ shaky bullpen, will be back with the team in 2022.
The club announced Saturday that it had signed Chacin signed to a one-year contract. According to MLB.com, the deal is for $1.25 million.
Chacín, who turns 34 on Jan. 7, began 2021 as a long reliever after signing with the team on the eve of its season-opener. He struggled early, then found his groove. By the end of the season, he emerged as a reliable seventh- and eighth-inning option for manager Bud Black.
Chacín went 3-2 with a 4.
