SPORTIVOS:Los Yankees anuncian la aceptación de un candidato histórico de Mets Preferible, mientras la temporada de descanso continúa con su lento comienzo.

During the All-MLB awards ceremony? Yankees, hurry up! Since Scott Boras and Juan Soto have total control over the free agent market, we’re willing to accept anything at this stage, especially since we know we’re in for the long haul.

To now, New York has taken a few modest steps and is probably going to keep doing so until the door opens for more significant additions. As they search for more pitching prospects, Brian Cashman and the front office are keeping a close eye on the ball.

Jordany Ventura, a former Mets prospect, signed a minor league contract with the Yankees on Thursday. The Mets cut the right-hander loose because his performance was once again hindered by injuries.

However, given that Ventura’s shift to a bullpen role in 2024 showed some promise, the Yankees are known for taking a chance on players like these. In 48 2/3 innings, he struck out 55 batters while his heater reached 96 mph.

His ability to restrict contact, particularly hard contact, is maybe his greatest quality. The Yankees’ relief corps had trouble with this last year. It is impossible to overlook his 6.9 H/9 and 0.5 HR/9.

News from the Yankees: NYY signings Jordany Ventura, a former Mets prospect, signed an international free agent contract and made his Mets organization debut in 2018, however he never made an impression. After missing a whole year due to the pandemic, he played in 15 games in 2019. After that, he required Tommy John surgery, which prevented him from playing in 2021 and only allowed him to make four appearances in 2022.

Only five of his 69 professional appearances have been in Double-A, the highest level he has attained. After a strong finish to his 2024 season, the 24-year-old appears to already have a slight edge, though he still has a lot of work to do to establish himself as a fringe 40-man roster bullpen asset.

Is one of our pitching coaches up for grabs by the Mets? Feel free to proceed. The greatest form of retaliation would be for Matt Blake, who oversees the lab in the Bronx, to utilize Ventura in a manner that the Mets were never able to.
