Rockies add to bullpen, agree with LHP Alexander on 1-year deal

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Colorado Rockies added another pitcher to their bullpen on Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year Major League deal with left-hander Scott Alexander.

Alexander, 35, is coming off a season with the Athletics in which he finished with a 1-3 record and 2.56 ERA over 45 appearances.

Alexander has spent parts of 10 seasons with the Kansas City Royals, (2015-17), the Los Angeles Dodgers (2018-2021), San Francisco (2022-23) and the Athletics. He's 20-15 over his career with a 3.20 ERA spanning 328 games (13 starts).

He was part of the Dodgers when they won the 2020 World Series but wasn't on their active postseason roster.

Alexander didn't sign out of high school after originally being selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 37th round of the 2007 first-year player draft. Three years later he was picked by Kansas City in the sixth round out of Sonoma State University in California.
