The Diamondbacks have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent reliever Greg Holland, according to Robert Murray and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). The Boras Corporation client secures a $3.25MM guarantee and $3.5MM in possible incentives, per Jon Heyman of MLB Network (Twitter links). Holland still must pass a physical before the contract will be finalized.
Now 33 years of age, Holland is not the same pitcher that once featured as one of the game’s most dominant relievers. Indeed, he last pitched as a true relief ace back in 2014. He blew out his elbow in the ensuing campaign and has never fully regained his velocity.

Yes I would say that he is on the backside of his career now. He’s had a good run but you’re correct he’s not the same pitcher he once was.

Greg saw his first action of Spring Training for the DBacks today in a game vs the Cubs.
Unfortunately, he was ineffective. Threw 22 pitches and only 10 were strikes. Got 2 out. Walked one; struck out one. Gave up 2 hits and 3 runs because one of the 2 hits was a HR.
