5:22pm: Foltynewicz will earn $2MM with incentives, per The Athletic’s Ken
Rosenthal, who tweets that the deal is done pending a physical. The
incentives could reach $500K, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com relays.
2:54pm: The Rangers are closing in on a one-year, Major League contract with
free-agent right-hander Mike Foltynewicz, reports Kiley McDaniel of ESPN (via
Twitter). Foltynewicz is a client of Excel Sports Management.
Foltynewicz was a quality starter earlier in his career with the Braves,
especially in 2018. That year, he threw 183 innings of 2.85 ERA/3.77 SIERA
ball while averaging a career-high 96.4 mph on his fastball and posting a
well-above-average strikeout percentage of 27.4. But Foltynewicz’s
production dropped off in 2019, in which the Braves demoted him to the
minors. And though he did enjoy a late-season rebound in 2019, he wasn’t
able to carry that into last year. Foltynewicz made one appearance with the
Braves (on July 27) and allowed six earned runs on four hits and and four
walks in 3 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old’s fastball averaged a startlingly
low 90.5 mph in that contest, and the Braves then booted him from their
40-man roster. He spent the rest of the year at their alternate site before
electing free agency earlier in the offseason.
Foltynewicz will get a chance to bounce back from his horrid 2020 as a member
of the Rangers, whose rotation was among the worst in the game last year.
Kyle Gibson, Jordan Lyles and Kolby Allard had terrible years a season ago,
though Foltynewicz and new acquisitions Dane Dunning and Kohei Arihara could
provide reasons for hope.
