The Colorado Rockies have been wanting to pick up a left handed relief pitcher that could serve in the setup role and on Tuesday it looks like they got their man. Alan Embree has agreed on a one year contract which is being rumored to be around $2.55 million. The contract and terms won’t be announced until Thursday after the Rule 5 Draft.
Embree went 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 70 appearances for the Athletics last season. He pitched previously for the Giants (1999-2001) and Padres (2002 and 2006).
Keep checking back as we are reporting any transactions as soon as we hear about them. The Winter meetings are going on Las Vegas right now, so there are a lot of things floating around.
