Daniel Bard Reportedly Making Comeback Attempt

Posted Feb 18, 2020
Six seasons have elapsed since Daniel Bard threw his last pitch in a Major League game, but the 34-year-old right-hander threw in front of scouts recently and is hoping to make a comeback. Bard at one point looked to be a high-end closer in the making. Drafted with the 28th overall pick in 2006 out of North Carolina, Bard debuted for the Red Sox in 2009. (MLB Trade Rumors)
