Report: Joba Chamberlain has turned down multiple offers
Joba Chamberlain is still looking for a home with just weeks until pitchers and catchers are to report for spring training.
The right-hander has turned down multiple offers from teams he didn't want to join, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
Rosenthal doesn't elaborate on which teams Chamberlain has rejected, but does believe the reliever's value is plummeting. Chamberlain's hopes of a two-year deal are all but squandered at this point, meaning he'll likely have to sign a one-year pact loaded with incentives.
The former Detroit Tiger made $2.5 million in 2014, pitching to a 2-5 record with a 3.57 ERA in 63 innings of work. His post All-Star break numbers were alarming, however. Opponents hit .271 off the 29-year-old and his ERA ballooned to 4.97 in the second half.
