I’m sorry I missed this Friday. Batolo Colon signed with the Braves, joining R.A. Dickey in the 40+ club:
The last major league team to have two pitchers 42 or older start 10 or more games was the 1990 Texas Rangers, with Nolan Ryan and Charlie Hough.
The Braves were looking for short term pitching solutions as their prospects develop. Signing really old pitchers is one way to prevent management from wanting to keep them long term.
