Edwin Jackson Intends To Pitch In 2020

By Jeff Todd | December 31, 2019 at 11:03am CDT

Veteran hurler Edwin Jackson says he’s planning to pitch again in 2020, MLB.com’s Jon Morosi tweets. The 36-year-old has already thrown in parts of 17 seasons with 14 different teams — an MLB record he set last year.

Jackson was once a prized young hurler and a high-quality veteran. He had already moved around a fair bit when he finally landed a big, multi-year deal with the Cubs back in 2013.

Unfortunately, E-Jax fell short of expectations in Chicago. He has since morphed into the game’s ultimate journeyman, logging big league innings with nine organizations in a span of just five campaigns.

Through nearly two thousand MLB frames, Jackson carries a 4.78 ERA. He hucked 92 frames of 3.33 ERA ball with the A’s in 2018 but limped to a 9.58 ERA in 2019 with the Blue Jays and Tigers. While interested teams will surely not expect a return to that ’18 uptick, there is still some appeal to the durable and highly respected veteran, who works in the 93 to 94 mph range with his fastball and would be a valuable mentor to younger pitchers.

      Twins could sign him! He hasn’t punched his ticket there yet and he would be the perfect follow-up to the Hill and Bailey signings.

        Some of us still want a player to make the MLB’s four-decade club by playing in the ’90’s, ’00’s, ’10’s & ’20’s. Vince Carter’s about to be the first one to do it in the NBA.

          But Vince Carter has taken care of himself and doesn’t look foolish on the court. Bartolo looks like someone’s unemployed uncle who spends every afternoon at the ice cream parlor.

        Yes, because why would someone take someone that is 107-133 with a 4.78 ERA over someone that is 130-99 with a 3.68 ERA if they’re both available?

    He’s usually decent for half a season and then looks like Rick Ankiel for the other half.

    And lol @ him actually having a nickname. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone call him E-Jax before.

    Edwin Jackson was teammates with Rickey Henderson, Fred McGriff, Steve Finley, Robin Ventura and Jeff Kent, he’s one of the last direct-connections to 90’s baseball and for that he should be cherished!

    Valued veteran and mentor, who wrote that Jackson.himself. The short period he pitched for the Jays he couldn’t get anyone out with his blazing fastball and the outfield got won out watching the balls fly past them.
    The man is through he just doesn’t have the good sense to lay down. Hopefully the 30 teams will take mercy on him and not sign him or invite him to training camp.

    if he doesn’t sign with a new (to him) team, would like to see him sign with the o’s or marlins (if only because of the 14 teams he’s pitched for, he didn’t win a game with either, so get a win, would be 13th team he did that with).

    if he did end up with the marlins or o’s, a start with either would be his 12th team he’s pitched in the rotation with (braves, o’s and marlins only used him out of the pen)
