Jake Woodford has agreed to a minor league deal with the Rockies, providing him a chance to compete for a spot in the rotation or bullpen during Spring Training.
Woodford, a former first-round pick in 2015, has seen a tumultuous career path marked by initial promise but recent struggles with ERA and strikeout rates.
Despite showing some capability in 2021 and '22 with a satisfactory ERA, his low strikeout rate was a persistent concern that ultimately led to his challenges in 2023.
After a dismal 2023 season, characterized by high ERA and control issues, the Cardinals opted to non-tender Woodford, leading to his subsequent signing with the Rockies.
