Yankees sign Carlos Carrasco for Minor League deal

The Yankees have agreed to a Minor League contract with the veteran Righty Carlos CarrascoJack Curry reports from the JA network. He will probably be in the warehouse this month as a non-squad invitation. Carrasco, which is represented by Asse, would earn $ 1.5 million if he does the squad and can increase this salary by incentives Pro Joel Sherman from the New York Post to $ 2.5 million.

Carrasco, 38 in March, spent the 2024 season with the Guardians after returning to Cleveland with a Minor League pact in the last low season. He was hit hard for a second season in a row and after the 6.80 ERA from 2023 (90 Innerings) with an ERA of 5.64 in 103 2/3 pictures. Carrascos 91.6 miles per hour an average of four soul-soul and 91.1 miles per hour average sinker per statcast were both career depth.

Carrasco was of course one of the leading starters of the game during his highlight in Cleveland and was fourth in the American League Cy Young in 2017. From 2014 to 18 he threw 856 Innings with 3.27 ERA ball with plus strike and walk prices. In this period, he took seventh place at all jugs in the winning of the fishing raphs over the replacement metric and demonstrated among all qualified jugs with regard to the differential between his strike and walking rates (22.6 k-BB%).

In this phase of his career, Carrasco is no longer a border -as a pure depth for the Yankees. His last productive season was with the METs in 2022 when he threw 152 innings with 3.97 ERA ball with strong strike rate of 23.6% and 6.4% walk rate.

Carrasco had an ERA of 5.64 or worse in three of the last four seasons, but he still shows a good command and misses bats at a passable level to believe that it could achieve better results. However, he was too Homer, which was not necessarily good for a attack in the Yankee Stadium, he was actually much more susceptible to long balls than against left-handed.
