Rockies To Sign Greg Holland

1:38PM: Holland earns $6MM in salary and there is a $1MM buyout of his 2018
option, FanRag Sports’ Jon Heyman reports (Twitter links). If Holland
either pitches in 50 games or finishes 30 games this season, he option vests
into a $15MM player option for 2018 that Holland can either accept or reject
in search of a larger multi-year deal on the open market. If the option doesn
’t vest, it turns into a $10MM mutual option for 2018 that contains another
$8MM in incentives.
9:55AM: The Rockies have landed one of the offseason’s most sought-after
bullpen arms, as the club officially announced its one-year deal with
right-hander Greg Holland. The contract also contains a vesting option for
the 2018 season. Holland is represented by the Boras Corporation.
Holland will earn $7MM in guaranteed money in 2017, though he can earn
substantially more in incentives that vary based on his role with the
Rockies. Holland has $3MM worth of non-closing incentives in his contract
and can earn up to $14MM next season if he serves as the Rockies’ closer.
Presumably, the non-closing incentives are based on factors such as innings
pitched and appearances, and the deal also contains bonuses for games
finished.

The 31-year-old Holland missed all of the 2016 season as he recovered from
Tommy John surgery that was performed late in the 2015 campaign. Prior to
that operation, however, he was one of the game’s top relievers and a key
factor in the Royals’ return to prominence. From 2011-14, Holland tossed 256
1/3 innings of 1.86 ERA ball with 12.6 K/9 against 3.2 BB/9 with a 44.4
percent ground-ball rate. Holland racked up 113 saves in that time and
anchored the Royals’ bullpen in the 2014 postseason, throwing 15 innings and
allowing one run with a 15-to-5 K/BB ratio.
A year later, when the Royals won the World Series, Holland watched from the
dugout following his operation. He’d pitched to a 3.83 ERA with 9.9 K/9 and
5.2 BB/9 in 44 2/3 innings prior to going under the knife. Incredibly, at the
time Holland’s injury was reported to the public, manager Ned Yost suggested
that Holland had unknowingly suffered a tear of some degree in his UCL back
in Aug. 2014, which would mean he pitched the entire 2015 campaign with a
tear in the elbow. The Royals reportedly recommended medical examination on
numerous occasions, though Holland declined. Presumably, the tear was minimal
in nature at first, but it progressed to the point where it was termed a “
significant” tear by the tail end of the 2015 season.
If Holland passes the Rockies’ physical, he’ll add to what’s been an
active offseason for Rockies GM Jeff Bridich and the rest of the Colorado
front office. Colorado has clearly been operating in a win-now capacity, as
evidenced by the team’s signing of Ian Desmond to a five-year, $70MM
contract (which cost them the No. 11 overall pick in the upcoming draft) and
the addition of lefty Mike Dunn on a three-year, $19MM deal.
With the Rockies, Holland would likely be the favorite to pitch the ninth
inning, though he’ll presumably have to prove healthy and effective enough
to push past incumbent candidate Adam Ottavino. That duo and the newly signed
Dunn will pair with holdovers Jake McGee, Jason Motte and Chad Qualls to
comprise the relief corps for first-year Rockies manager Bud Black. Also in
the mix for ’pen jobs in Denver will be lefty Chris Rusin and right-handers
Jordan Lyles, Carlos Estevez and Miguel Castro.
While the addition of Holland certainly doesn’t make the Rockies an
immediate contender, the team’s offseason maneuverings have improved the
2017 outlook. Not only will Desmond and Holland be bolstering the lineup and
the pitching staff, but the Rox will receive full seasons from sophomores
David Dahl, Trevor Story and Tyler Anderson, each of whom impressed in their
rookie efforts this past season. Beyond that, it’s certainly plausible that
emerging rotation leader Jon Gray will take another step forward, and the Rox
have an intriguing blend of young and veteran arms to round out the rotation.
That group includes Chad Bettis, Tyler Chatwood, German Marquez and Jeff
Hoffman.
Holland was linked to about two-thirds of the league early in the offseason,
but the number of teams interested in his services began to narrow over the
course of the past few weeks. Most recently, the Rockies, Nationals and a
yet-unreported “mystery” team were believed to be the three most serious
suitors for Holland’s services. With Holland off the board, the Nationals
will presumably have to look elsewhere to add an experienced arm to their
ninth-inning mix.

2. 現年31歲的Greg Holland,上季待Tommy John手術復原的關係並未出賽。在2015年進
入傷兵名單後,總教練Ned Yost曾表示Holland自2014年八月就發現手肘韌帶有撕裂傷,也
意味著Holland在2015年是帶著傷勢進行比賽的。雖然,皇家球團有數度跟他建議去做健康
檢查,卻都遭到Holland的拒絕。一般認為,原先的確有些微的撕裂傷,但在2015年球季結
束前夕傷勢加劇,以至於嚴重到需要動Tommy John手術。
3. 在2016年休季後,除了落磯隊之外,國民隊與某「神秘」球隊都在競逐Greg Holland的
行列,現在落磯隊簽下他也代表國民隊終結者懸缺的情形仍要繼續下去。
