Join us in wishing a happy 37th birthday to Johnny Cueto. The Marlins signed Cueto in free agency hoping that he’d become the second-oldest pitcher in franchise history to qualify for the ERA title behind only Charlie Hough (thanks to Stathead for confirming that nugget).
You may recall that the Padres were in the mix to get Cueto. They have pivoted to Michael Wacha, who posted similar numbers last year.
