Drew Pomeranz will likely begin the season in the minors after the Rockies signed Jon Garland, the Denver Post reports.
Garland pitched with the Mariners during the spring, but left the team after it was clear they were going another direction in the rotation. Pomeranz is likely headed to the minors, but could be used a long reliever out of the major-league club’s bullpen.
Last season, the 24-year-old had a 4.93 ERA and a 4.81 FIP in 96 2/3 innings with the team.
