He would have to wait five years before making his MLB debut in 2009. Chacin was a rare incidence where he was called up directly from a Double-A team, the Tulsa Drillers. In his six years in Colorado, he pitched a 3.78 ERA with 514 strikeouts in 672 innings pitched. On March 22, 2015, after these six years, Chacin was released by the Rockies. But then not even a month later, on April 14, Chacin signed a minor league deal with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/cleveland-indians\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cleveland Indians<\/a><\/strong>. Unfortunately, Chacin quickly became unhappy and opted out of that contract on June 18.<\/p>\n<p>Two days after the opt out, Chacin signed another minor league deal, this time with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/arizona-diamondbacks\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a><\/strong>. However, this time he would end up playing for the Diamondbacks. He would play five games, pitching a 3.38 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 26.2 innings pitched. After his time with the Diamondbacks, Chacin would sign yet another minor league contract with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/atlanta-braves\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Atlanta Braves<\/a><\/strong>. With this contract, like the Diamondbacks contract, Chacin would play for the Braves. He would play five games with the Braves, pitching a 5.40 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 26.2 innings pitched. On May 11, 2016, Chacin would be traded to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/los-angeles-angels\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Los Angeles Angels<\/strong><\/a> in exchange for pitcher <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=mccree000ada\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adam McCreery<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After spending the rest of the season with the Angels, Chacin would sign a one-year contract with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonbaseball.com\/mlb-teams\/san-diego-padres\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Diego Padres<\/a><\/strong>. In his career so far, Chacin has pitched a 3.93 ERA with 807 strikeouts in 1,023 innings pitched.<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact Of The Signing<\/h3>\n<p>For the Brewers, they gain a very hard working pitcher who is one year off being named an Opening Day starter. He has had control issues in the past, but it seems that he has gotten them under control. For the Padres, they lose one of their most reliable pitchers in the rotation. Chacin will now look to keep the same resilience that got him this far to earn a spot in the rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"MI6YXBPzSZBEVI0rZyR0fA\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/857117920\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'MI6YXBPzSZBEVI0rZyR0fA',sig:'dxIzSyFUsKzfp75ovysrDQmg-fnHBL5Sku9xvyBvSTw=',w:'594px',h:'401px',items:'857117920',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports,\u00a0Jhoulys Chacin has found his next team as it was announced that he will sign with the Milwaukee Brewers for two-years worth over $15 million.
