Braves Sign Collin McHugh

By Darragh McDonald | March 15, 2022 at 6:20pm CDT

The Braves have announced that they’ve signed right-hander Collin McHugh to a two-year deal with a $10MM guarantee. The 34-year-old will make $4MM this year and $5MM next year. There’s also a $6MM club option for 2024 with a $1MM buyout.

McHugh struggled in his first taste of MLB action with the Mets and Rockies, but then established himself as a quality starter with the Astros. From 2014 to 2017, he made 102 starts, throwing 606 1/3 innings with an ERA of 3.70, 22.3% strikeout rate and 6.6% walk rate. In that last year, he missed the first half of the season with arm injuries, but returned in July to make 12 starts and appear in two playoff games out of the bullpen, as the Astros went on to win the 2017 World Series.

From there, McHugh transitioned into a bullpen role and found immediate success, frequently pitching more than one inning. In 2018, he got into 58 games and threw 72 1/3 innings with an ERA of 1.99, 33.2% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate. In 2019, he tried returning to the rotation, making eight starts at the beginning of the season. That experiment didn’t go well, as he had an ERA of 6.37 in that time. But after transitioning back to the ’pen, he got things back on track, throwing 33 2/3 innings over the remainder of the season with a 2.67 ERA.

However, despite those positive results, 2019 finished with yet another arm injury as his last appearance was in August. In 2020, he signed on with the Red Sox but the elbow issues lingered and he ended up opting out of the entire season. The Rays signed him to a $1.8MM deal for 2021, which turned into a tremendous bounceback season for McHugh. Despite multiple trips to the IL, he got into 37 games and logged 64 innings with a 1.55 ERA, 30% strikeout rate and 4.9% walk rate.

For the defending World Series champion Braves, their bullpen took a hit at the end of the season, as Richard Rodriguez, Josh Tomlin, Jesse Chavez and Chris Martin hit free agency, with Chavez and Martin both signing with the Cubs in recent days. McHugh will try to compensate for those losses, slotting into the bullpen next to other high-leverage options such as Will Smith, Tyler Matzek, Luke Jackson and A.J. Minter. The club will also be hoping for Kirby Yates, who missed last year due to Tommy John surgery, to join this group at some point.

          This coming season will show – as with every offseason – that the overwhelming majority of the FA signings were bad; and the multi-year ones more often than not tie the hands of those teams FO’s when they have to make a move.

          The Brewers, Jays, now Red Sox and others do the right thing – make their moves with in-season trades as they find what’s needed due to injuries and/or players having unexpected poor years.

          No awards for winning the offseason.

          Flexibility is key.

      I wanted the Sox to get McHugh pretty badly. Apparently 2 years, $10-12 million for a guy who has been one of the best relievers in baseball for the past several years is simply too expensive for Bloom. McHugh can also go several innings at a time, which would have been very beneficial for the Sox and their brittle, mediocre rotation.

      I love the offense (if they add Suzuki or another good OFer to replace Renfroe), but I am getting pretty sick of Bloom not being willing to spend any money whatsoever on pitching. Anthony DeSclafani only got 3 years, $36 million for example, and he would have been the Sox second or third best starter this coming season. An injured James Paxton and a 45 year old Rich Hill just isn’t going to cut it. Spend some money, Bloom. You aren’t with the Rays anymore!

          He jumped the gun with some of the big trades. They weren’t good enough to go over the top. A bit like Preller with SD 6 years ago or so, like Philly a couple of years back, and like Reds, every few years.

          AA was notified that was not going to be the GM the next year so he went for it all, it is as simple as that

          11 months ago

          4 years 4 division titles… sounds more like he inherited a good team that was ready to win. Not sure how you’re giving him credit when he walks into a situation where the team was already built to win titles.

          He pulled the right strings for the WS run for sure and he definitely gets credit for that one. But the team was already in great shape to win before he came along

        • MJ

          11 months ago

          The man who deserves a lot of credit who won’t get it because of the dumb sanctions is John Coppolella.

          Coppy really wasn’t doing anything that other teams werent doing with those international players. The league decided to make an example of him though and he paid the price. He was a good GM though, and you look at the pieces that make up this Braves… he’s the one who brought most of them in.

          You have to remember though, for how well Coppy did on almost everything baseball-wise he also led a toxic work culture and infighting which wouldn’t have brought long term success!

          Yes he learned he was a goner in Toronto so he spent the prospects that he brought to the Jays. Doing so won him executive of the year. Go figure. He was always a good GM.

      Of course, they’re signing him to be in the pen. He’s a great reliever who’s getting less money than a lot of inferior relievers, due to some injury risk.

      This is a very reasonable price for a quality late inning RP.

      After a year plus in Anaheim, I think it’s very likely that Perry Minasian didn’t have much to do with the Braves success. He had a terrible off-season last year, and there are some huge issues that have not been addressed this off-season.

    Only 3 seasons with over 75 innings pitched but pretty good numbers overall after his first 4 years in the NL. He got lit up early on in his career in the NL then apparently flipped a switch when he got to the AL. Let’s hope it was an experience thing and the league splits were a fluke.

    Either way it’s a solid pickup & will help the pitching scenario overall.

    Waiting patiently to see some of the next wave of young pitching to blossom but this seems like a great depth move. Injuries are always devastating in the rotation.

    Braves are looking good. Hurts to lose freeman but Olsen is 4+ years younger and has more power that they needed. 8 year deal takes him to 35 where freeman wanted to go to age 38 for more money. Smart move. Now with the DH as long as Ozuna goes back to hitting form we don’t lose much of BA but gain WAY MORE in power. Still think we need a pitcher or 2 1 rotation one bp.

    Great pickup for the Braves. My heart goes out to their fans having lost Freddie Freeman to free agency but since it can’t be undone, having Matt Olson will make it easier for you guys to readjust. You guys have a great team still, and I don’t see that it’s going to be any easier getting past the Braves this year than it was last year.

    Very good signing. McHugh has been borderline elite as a reliever the past few years, when healthy.

    I was hoping he’d sign with the RS. It might’ve been the two-year+ deal, combined with the injury risk.

    We need a starter definitely! Someone to play center too.

    I’m just stunned that Ryan Tepera is still on the market. Solid track record right through last season and apparently underrated by most clubs.

    Wouldn’t mind seeing the Braves go for Tepera as well. I know the bullpen looked good in the postseason but they struggled a lot throughout the year. MLBTR needs to do a poll on where Freeman will land. I strongly think the Mets may be in the mix for him. I hope not would hate to see him go there.

      I’m thinking Dodgers. Especially now that the Yankees resigned Rizzo.

    Poop! I was hoping the Tigers would sign him. Nevertheless, he got more $$$ than I thought he might.

    I like him. Good for him.

      So was I. Avila seems to be laying back too much since the lockout was lifted. McHugh wudda been nice even though we need a lefty reliever more than a righty. If we get another Starter, Alexander can be the lefty out of the pen.

    Braves making some moves…if this guy is anywhere near 2021 form then their amazing pen is stronger. They invested in a younger power hitting defensive 1B. They won a ring with their worst roster in years. Now what will they do?

      They gotta tend to their OF, but other than that, they’re solid.

    The Braves are winning the off-season so far.

      Braves are killing it this off-season. I don’t recall all the pre-lockout signings, but the Mariners are much improved, as well. And the Rangers have a long way to go, but they have had a big off-season.

    McHugh’s been pretty good out of the pen. Braves are gunna be good. Especially when they get that OF figured out.

    Rizzo just resigned with Yankees.
    Why didn’t Freddie just take the deal and Stay? I’m wondering if his agents “Also Kershaw’s” aren’t overreaching. Seems they wanted to create a bidding war but it seems teams don’t want to go that far.

    Yankees never had any intention of signing Freeman or Correa or any other higher priced f/a. . As usual it is Status quo for them……Donaldson and Kiner-Falefa improves them…..BUT what about catcher and CF’er…..So now they trade Gleyber as they put DJ where he finally belongs ????? What about SP?? Who closes when Chapman implodes again??

    I’m really worried about the long term catcher situation for the Braves now that Langliers is gone. There isn’t really a whole lot of promising youn players at that position out there

    Looking more and more each day that Freeman’s Camp overreached on the length of a deal! If Freddie gets 30 over 4/5 yrs was it really worth leaving Atl? SMH.
