When the second season began, they had yet to sign with a team. Both did sign in during the month of April. After the second season, both Eckersly and Chapman were free agents again. The same thing repeated itself, as both remained unsigned and signed in April after the season was underway. Anyone else seeing this?
I see this happening, but it seems that during spring training there becomes a 1 yr bidding war for relief pitchers
