The Rockies signed pitcher John Axford to a minor-league contract Monday, according to the team's transaction page.
The deal includes an invite to spring training and a $2.6 million base salary, which could esclate if he reaches certain incentives, according to CBSSports.com Baseball Insider Jon Heyman.
In 2014, Axford went 2-4 over 54 2/3 innings with a 3.95 ERA.
