A mid 4 career era and a 13 -20 W/L record. Well, at least he has some major league experience and is left-handed.

I like this signing. Taillon will go on the 60-day and Erlin will be added to the 40-man and be 2020's version of Liriano

With the new 3 batter minimum rule, it will be good to have a few folks in the pen who have previously gone an inning or more. Erin has experience as a starter, albeit without the best results.

This also is a no risk signing, both in terms of finances/spending and the roster.

They needs a warm body who throws LH. That's all this guy is.

I can see him being better than Sam Howard though.
