REMEMBER WHEN RYAN WEBER LEFT? OH... HE'S BACK!

Quick note. Last week I wrote that Ryan Weber was taking off. He wanted a major league deal and the Yankees weren't giving it to him. So, he opt-ed out in hopes to find one. Read YANKEES LOSE RYAN WEBER... COME ON, MAN! for that.

Later in the week however, Weber came back. Not sure how or why, but the dude is back with the Yankees. MLB Trade Rumors writes:

"The Yankees have re-signed... Ryan Weber ...to minor league... per an announcement from their Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders.

This is old hat by now for Weber, who is signing his fourth minor league deal of the season with the Yankees. On three different occasions now, Weber has been selected to the 40-man roster, pitched in one game, been designated for assignment and elected free agency after clearing waivers. Each time, he’s returned on a new minor league deal. In all likelihood, this scenario will play out again the next time the Yankees need some length in the bullpen — or possibly a spot start. The journeyman Weber has pitched well both with the Yankees and the RailRiders this season, but his overall track record in the Majors is fairly pedestrian: 174 2/3 innings, 5.10 ERA, 14.7% strikeout rate, 5.4% walk rate."

Now let's see what happens next. I wonder if the dude shows up in September when they do call ups. We will have to see.
