Drew Hutchison Elects Free Agency

By Jeff Todd | June 5, 2018 at 10:54am CDT

Righty Drew Hutchison has elected free agency after clearing outright waivers, the Phillies announced today. He had been designated for assignment recently.

Hutchison, 27, worked to a 4.64 ERA with 8.0 K/9 and 5.5 BB/9 over his 21 1/3 innings on the year. To be fair, much of the damage came in two long-relief appearances during a stretch in which he appeared just twice in a 26-day span.

In parts of five seasons in the majors, Hutchison owns a 4.92 ERA with 8.3 K/9 against 3.0 BB/9 over 439 innings. He’ll surely have little trouble catching on somewhere, though it’s anyone’s guess when he’ll receive his next shot at the MLB level.

      He was already with the Pirates. He was the grand prize in the Liriano salary dump.

        It wasn’t a salary dump, Hutch was the BEST pitcher to trade Liriano and all of those prospects for. So if Huntington wants his prized possession back, here is his chance.

      BAck to the Jays. He might be an improvement over some of the Jays starters AND relievers.

          Sarcasm. “He might be an improvement oversome…” I saw what he was with the Jays fine and clear. #Scouteyes

    He could go to the Reds and try to build his value up so he could be a potential trade piece next month or in August

    Royals need pitching until all of these college pitchers are ready for majors. Like Reds, Royals have opportunities for pitchers trying to build value.

      With his current numbers, he’d be a stud in the Royals pen! Return B. Smith to the Mets & sign Hutch!
