Red Sox Sign José De León to Minor League Deal

The Boston Red Sox have reached a minor league agreement with right-handed pitcher José De León, as reported by Francys Romero. De León hinted at the deal on social media, and it has now been confirmed. Once a highly-touted prospect in the Dodgers' system, De León's career has been hampered by injuries, preventing him from securing a consistent role in the majors. Over six partial seasons, De León has played for four different teams but has never reached 20 innings in any single season.
​
De León's most recent MLB stint was with the Minnesota Twins two years ago, where he allowed nine earned runs in 17 1/3 innings, striking out 17 batters while issuing five walks. Now 32, De León is looking to make a comeback and prove his worth with the Red Sox organization. As he works to regain his form, Boston will be hoping that De León can tap into his potential and provide valuable depth to their pitching staff.
