Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Diamondbacks and Tom Gordon have agreed to a one year deal worth 500,000 dollars, plus incentives. Gordon, 41, was 5-4 with a 5.16 ERA in thirty-four games for the Phillies, but has a career 3.94 ERA. Gordon's command has declined over the past three seasons, and that is apparent in his numbers, as well as other specific statistics. Either way, Gordon has playoff experience and should help the Diamondbacks' bullpen.Â
