Colorado Rockies: Reliever Santiago Casilla signs a pact with the team

According to Robert Murray of The Athletic, the Rockies have come to terms on a minor league pact with veteran right-handed reliever Santiago Casilla.

Assuming this is true and the deal doesn’t fall apart, the Rockies would have signed a seasoned veteran to a minor league deal after having a pretty good season. Nonetheless though, he was designated for assignment by the Oakland Athletics. The A’s will have to pay the remainder of his contract for the season (about $2 million) and if Casilla makes it to the major leagues with the Rockies, he would only have to be paid the pro-rated league minimum salary for the league (which is around $200,000).
