Barry Zito is making a comeback. At least that is what his agent claims.

Zito did not pitch at all in 2014, but, according to Hardball.com, his agent, Scott Boras, said at the general managers’ meetings this week that Zito has been working out with the goal of returning for the 2015 season.

“He called me on the phone in August and said, ‘I’m ready to go. I want to pitch,'” Boras said, according to the report. “He set up the plan and did all of that.” It remains to be seen whether Zito gets anywhere with his proposed comeback. He is 36 years old, and in 2013, he went 5-11 with a 5.74 earned-run averaged for the San Francisco Giants.
