24.01 Bison Sign a Brit

The first signing of free agency, like the first robin of spring, is always an exciting sighting. It means the beginning of something new, no matter how long and dogged the previous season. Also like the first robin, the first FA is rarely all that interesting. Each robin is basically just another identical bird, and the early moments of free agency is usually limited to news regarding the odd journeyman signing on for a single year deal.

This year's "robin", relief pitcher Matthew Ahearn, is no different. The prototypical AAAA reliever, Ahearn has spent the last decade bouncing around between the Rupert Horn Memorial League and whichever major league squad has his rights that particular year. A British national, Ahearn has pitched 339 career innings in 251 appearances in the Monty Brewster Baseball Association. Bison GM Adam Dee addressed the media this afternoon:

"We were looking for a couple more arms to round out our bullpen, Matty was available and we pulled the trigger on that. He's going to have to bring his A-game to spring training, and he knows that, and we fully expect him to do so. Matty's a pro, a smart guy, a real student of the game. He's a good guy, good ballplayer, and we're glad to have him in the organization."
