Rockies Re-Sign Jhoulys Chacin

By TC Zencka | November 13, 2021 at 11:12am CDT

Right-hander Jhoulys Chacin has agreed on a one-year deal to return to the Rockies, as per Danielle Allentuck of the Denver Gazette (via Twitter). The team has announced the signing. Chacin’s deal is worth $1.25MM, per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (via Twitter).

Chacin, 34 in January, had his best years in purple from 2009 to 2014. He returned to Colorado last season, making 46 appearances, mostly out of the bullpen. Though it was a different role than the last time Chacin pitched for the Rockies, he put together his best season since 2018 nevertheless, logging 64 1/3 innings with a 4.34 ERA/4.63 FIP.

Chacin’s best season overall came in that 2018 season when he made 35 starts for a playoff-bound Brewers’ squad that won 96 games and the NL Central crown. Chacin won a career-high 15 games with a 3.50 ERA/4.03 FIP in 192 2/3 innings. He kept it up in the postseason, making three starts and giving up just two earned runs over 12 1/3 innings, which included a game two victory over the Rockies in the NLDS.

Though Chacin has more career playoff innings against the Rockies than for them, they have nonetheless shared a productive partnership over the years. Chacin figures to remain in the bullpen as a multi-inning option in 2022. Overall, Chacin owns a 4.06 ERA/4.08 FIP in 1,388 1/3 innings across 13 seasons with the Rockies, Brewers, Braves, Diamondbacks, Angels, Padres, and Red Sox. He surpassed 10 years of service time last season.

    Wow this guy brings back memories of an awful 2019 season for the Red Sox.

    Hard to believe he’s only 33.

      Rockies probably offered a little over league minimum. He checked the box in he was cheap and has a pulse. I actually feel bad for Rockies fans.

    Look at him, still around at this stage of his career. Meanwhile, Jorge De La Rosa is on Line 2.

    I can see him having some spot starts and a middle reliever type to eat some innings.

    He was the first SP to sign with the Rockies in like a decade. Hard to believe unless nobody else had any interest.

      Why would they have interest? Coors is where pitchers go to die.

    exact type of pitcher they should be targeting: can give multiple innings out of the bullpen, spot starter, can handle coors. how is he only 33?

    Senzatela, Marquez, & now Chacin. All Venezuelan pitchers. Maybe someone on their coaching staff is also a countryman.

      @geg. You might be on to something. There are some high altitudes in Venezuela maybe these guys grew up in the mountainous areas of Venezuela and learned how to pitch in Denver like conditions when they were kids?

    When the Rockies make meaningless signings, maybe the author could shorten the article from four paragraphs to one sentence. Maybe something like this. “Rockies make a another brilliant move by bringing back the great Jhoulys Chacin for 1.25 mm.” Enough said!

    Good for the guy. Has really only had two bad seasons, with only one of them while pitching for the Rockies, whom he has spent half his career with. Not to many pitchers have had success before the humidor.. a la mike Hampton and such

      Uh, Chacin has been around for a long time, but his whole career was post-humidor.

        You know, time flies. They been using a humidor since 04 and chacin came along in 09. Still not the easiest place to pitch but you’re correct

    Good deal Jhoulys.. Bring it on home with the Rockies. Their bullpen could use his veteran experience. The Rockies pitching staff is not bad-with or without Jon Gray.
