Daniel Bard, former Boston Red Sox reliever, has nothing to lose in comeback attempt at age 34

Posted Jun 1, 2020
Daniel Bard, the former Red Sox reliever who spent five years in the minors before retiring in 2017, is in the midst of the unlikeliest of comeback attempts with the Rockies. Bard, 34, has only thrown one inning in the majors since 2012 and spent two years as a mental skills coach with the Diamondbacks before deciding to give pitching one last shot last winter.
