The consensus is that it was a good move by the Yankees snagging pitcher Roansy Contreras off waivers from the Orioles. Talk about a full-circle moment!
According to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, Contreras was once a really hot pitcher, ranking as Baseball America’s No. 80 prospect heading into 2022.
As a prospect, Contreras had a nasty fastball-curveball combo that scouts drooled over. While his fastball saw some action last season, he practically left his curveball gathering dust—despite it being a total showstopper when he used it. Maybe the Yankees see the potential for a comeback story here. Who doesn’t love one of those, especially considering the Yanks clearly liked him enough to bring him back into the fold.
It’ll be interesting to see how Contreras pans out, along with Allan Winans. Feels like the Yankees are piecing together some intriguing projects, and I, for one, am hyped to see where this goes!
