Former major league pitcher Corey Thurman has agreed to terms with the Revs, returning to his hometown club for a third season. Signed as a high school prospect out of Texas, Thurman moved up through the Kansas City Royals system before being acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays in the Rule 5 draft. Thurman made his major league debut with the Jays in 2002, and he returned to the big leagues in '03.
A shoulder injury caused Thurman to return to the minor leagues, and he attempted to restart his career by joining the Revolution in 2008. A resident of York since the end of the 2008 season, Thurman purchased a house in the area.
Thurman pitched well in 2009, he went 4-3 with a 3.28 ERA, but a blood clot in his pitching hand limited him to 16 starts.
The Revs also signed RHP Anthony Sullivan. Used strictly as a reliever during his four-year pro career, Sullivan spent the last two years pitching in the independent Can-Am League.
