Ryan Rodgers may be 40 years old but apparently the Philadelphia Mud Hens are willing to take a chance that he has found the secret to eternal youth and have signed him to a 3-year deal which will bring him just a bit below $440,000 annually.
Now if Rodgers can perform anywhere near the level his did this past season, in which he won his 4th Gold Glove award and put up 5.6 WAR while playing for Brooklyn, for just a few more seasons this will look like a very good gamble indeed. Rodgers is a real fan favorite with his hustle and confidence and will certainly not hurt at the box office.
