In a surprising twist this offseason, veteran utility player has signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees, making the unexpected jump from the Boston Red Sox. Reyes, who wrapped up his 2023 season with the Mets after a trade from the Red Sox, is now looking to prove his worth with the Yankees.
Although his MLB numbers in 2023 were modest—just .183 with no home runs, five RBIs, and one stolen base in 22 games—Reyes found his rhythm in Triple-A. With a strong .300 average, 12 home runs, 42 RBIs, 15 stolen bases, and an .889 OPS across 68 games, Reyes showcased the potential that has kept him on the radar of major league teams.
Since breaking into the majors with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2018, Reyes has accumulated a .248 career batting average, with eight home runs, 54 RBIs, 72 runs, and 13 stolen bases. The Yankees are hoping Reyes can bring some of that Triple-A firepower to their farm system as they continue to develop future stars.
While he may not have had a breakout MLB season just yet, this new chapter with the Yankees could be a fresh opportunity for Reyes to make his mark. Keep an eye on this versatile player as he works his way back to the big leagues!
