The Yankees are back at it, keeping their offseason game strong and their fans buzzing. In the latest twist, they’ve snagged not one, but two pitchers off the waiver wire. Say hello to RHP Roansy Contreras, claimed from the Orioles, and RHP Allan Winans, scooped up from the Braves.
Winans got a taste of the big leagues with Atlanta in 2023 and 2024. Sure, his 7.20 ERA over 40 innings in the majors might not scream “ace,” but down in Triple-A? The guy was dealing.
As for Contreras, the 25-year-old has been on a waiver-wire world tour this offseason, bouncing from Pittsburgh to Anaheim, then Texas, Cincinnati, and Baltimore. Now he’s landed in the Bronx. In 2024, he put together a 2-4 record with a pair of saves and a respectable 4.35 ERA over 49 games (three starts).
Stockpiling arms? Never a bad idea—especially when it’s the Yankees playing chess while everyone else is stuck on checkers.
