The Yankees DFA'd Yoendrys Gomez, and now he's gone... off to LA.
The Los Angeles Dodgers went shopping in the Yankees’ clearance aisle and came away with right-hander Yoendrys Gómez, claiming him off waivers. The Dodgers conveniently had an open roster spot after giving Eddie Rosario the boot last week when Shohei Ohtani returned from paternity leave (presumably well-rested and more dangerous than ever).
Gómez, who first joined the Yankees as a fresh-faced teenager out of Venezuela back in 2016, climbed his way into their top-30 prospect rankings and earned a spot on the 40-man roster in 2020 — a move to shield him from getting swiped in the Rule 5 Draft. He finally made his big-league debut in 2023 and spent last season bouncing between the Bronx and the bullpen like a well-worn subway card.
In bits and pieces over three years with New York, Gómez posted a 1-1 record and a 3.09 ERA across 12 games — not bad for a guy who never quite got to unpack his bags.
