Yankees and Jack Woodford According to Steve Adams of MLBTR, it involves minor league contracts. Excel Sports Management clients chose a minor league deal with the Rockies over the weekend and were released.
Woodford will start the season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre due to spin or longer relief depths. He has the ability to play both roles. Woodford has started 25 of 89 appearances in his major league career. His average running speed was only 5.00 in part of the five seasons. Most of them are Cardinals as the top 40 draft picks pitched for St. Louis between 2020-23.
The 28-year-old made a appearance with the Buccaneers and the White Sox last season. Woodford struggled with an era of nearly 8.00 in the 35 MLB innings. However, his numbers in Triple-A were stable, with his ERA reaching 3.93 ERA on 20 appearances. He recorded about average strikeouts (22.9%) and ground (43.7%) rates, while walking less than 7% of opponent’s batsmen. Woodford allowed four points every nine of the six seasons in the minor league top six seasons.
Colorado signed a minor league contract in January to add Woodford to Camp. He gave up seven runs with a 6-4 strikeout ratio in 12 innings of the Cactus League. That wasn’t enough to convince Rox to choose a contract when he came up with his terms last week. Now, he will have the opportunity to work for a deep role for a Yankees who have been hit hard in spring training.
