Dodgers Sign Former Rockies Pitcher in Free Agency
The Los Angeles Dodgers have made another move on Friday, signing right-handed pitcher Julian Fernández to a minor league deal, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. The move includes a non-roster invite to big league spring training.
Fernández, 29, has limited major league experience. In 2021, he made six appearances with the Colorado Rockies, allowing eight earned runs across 6.2 innings pitched for a 10.80 ERA.
Most recently in Major League Baseball, Fernández was in the Toronto Blue Jays organization. In 2023 for the team’s Triple-A affiliate, he had a 10.61 ERA across seven appearances.
Fernández spent the 2024 season in the Mexican League and the Dominican Winter League. In 34 appearances in the Mexican League for El Aguila de Veracruz, he had a 1.82 ERA across 34.2 innings pitched. The Dodgers were clearly impressed enough to give him an opportunity on a minor league pact.
Fernández will now join the Dodgers organization where they’ll look to unlock something in him. Minor league deals carry essentially zero risk, as the Dodgers will hope to work with Fernández to turn his career around. If not, they’ll let him head back to free agency in search of his next home.
