The Rockies times will continue for Jhoulys Chacín…

The 33-year-old Venezuelan professional baseball right-handed pitcher has agreed to a guaranteed $1.25 million, one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies that allows him to earn an additional $500,000 in performance bonuses.

Chacin was 3-2 with a 4.34 ERA in a career-high 45 relief appearances and one start for Colorado, which signed him on April 1 after he was released from a minor league contract by the New York Yankees near the end of spring training.

He became a free agent after the World Series.

Chacín is 81-89 with a 4.06 ERA in 227 starts and 76 relief appearances in 13 seasons with Colorado (2009-14, 2021), the Arizona Diamondbacks (2015), Atlanta Braves (2016), the Los Angeles Angels (2016), San Diego Padres (2017), Milwaukee Brewers (2018-19), Boston Red Sox (2019) and Atlanta (2020).

Chacín would earn $125,000 for making five starts and for each additional five through 20 and $125,000 for 30 pitching appearances and each additional 10 through 60. His total bonuses are capped at $500,000.

The 29-year-old Venezuelan professional baseball pitcher has agreed to a two-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.

The contract is valued at nearly $8 million per year, according to ESPN.

“I have been really working hard to get to the point where I can pitch and don’t think about anything (except) making outs, making my pitches,” Chacin said. “I was able to do that — just go out and have fun pitching.”

Chacin joins Yovani Gallardo as the second free-agent pitcher to sign with Milwaukee over the past week. Gallardo’s deal also was announced Thursday.

“We all know that the last couple years haven’t gone (well) for me,” Gallardo said. “I think it’s just a matter of minor adjustments.”

Chacin and Gallardo are expected to give the Brewers innings to help compensate for the loss of Jimmy Nelson, who underwent shoulder surgery in September and could miss a significant portion of the 2018 season.

Chase Anderson and Zach Davies are Milwaukee’s top returning starters, while Brandon Woodruff and Brent Suter could be in the competition for starting spots in spring training.

In 32 starts last season for the San Diego Padres, Chacin was 13-10 with a 3.89 ERA and a career-high 153 strikeouts. His 1.79 home ERA was the fourth lowest in Petco Park‘s history.

Chacin has pitched for five teams over eight Major League Baseball seasons, including six seasons with the Colorado Rockies (2009-2014). He has a career record of 59-67 with a 3.93 ERA in 195 games (167 starts).

He has won 10 or more games and pitched more than 180 innings three times. His best season came in 2013, when he went 14-10 with a 3.47 ERA in 197⅓ innings over 31 starts for the Rockies.
