Right-hander has signed a one-year Chris Bosh Jersey deal with the TSG Hawks of the Chinese Profe sional Baseball League in Taiwan, per Bob Nightengale of USA Today . The righty is a client of Gaeta Sports Management. Watkins, 32, has appeared in 40 major league games, suiting up for the Orioles and Athletics over the 2021 to 2023 seasons. He to sed 164 1/3 innings over those appearances, allowing 5.97 earned runs per nine. He struck out 13.9% of batters faced, walked 6.9% of opponents and got grounders on 38.4% of balls in play. He signed a minor league deal with the Nationals going into 2024 but never got the call to the big leagues. He to sed 118 1/3 Triple-A innings on the year with a 4.56 ERA, 18.1% strikeout rate, 7.7% walk rate and 45.8% ground ball rate. If he had stayed in North America, he likely would have been looking at another minor league deal and more riding the bus while hoping to get the big league call. By heading to join the Hawks, hell get to explore new horizons while also likely collecting a larger paycheck than he would on the farm. Jae Crowder Jersey
