Hola, Ricardo
Rincon signed. 2 years/2.9 million. Looking at his three-year splits, he shouldn't pitch to right-handers very often. Over those three years, his innings pitched have gone down while his ERA has gone up by over a run and his ERA+ in 2005 (104) was the worst of his career. Of course, relievers are notoriously flighty, so he could be super-fantastic next year. And since Flores is coming off surgery and who knows what Tyler Johnson can do, getting another LOOGY is prudent. Yes, the best I can come with about this signing right now is "prudent."
