Tyler Duffey Signs With Yankees
The New York Yankees signed free-agent relief pitcher Tyler Duffey to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. Duffey had a 1.88 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 24 innings for the Minnesota Twins in the shortened 2020 season. In 44 innings pitched for Minnesota earlier this year, Duffey went 2-4 with a 4.91 ERA (4.81 FIP), a 1.36 WHIP and a 39:15 K:BB in 40 relief appearances, including two saves. The 31-year-old right-hander was also briefly with the Texas Rangers this year, but he didn't appear in the majors. Duffey will likely report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he'll provide some veteran relief depth for the Yankees down the stretch and into the postseason.
