The Yankees were happy to reunite with Roansy Contreras this off season, but they just lost him on waivers. God, I hate that. Contreras' Yankees reunion was shorter than a New York minute.
This guy just can’t stay put. Originally a Yankees prospect, he was shipped off to Pittsburgh in the Jameson Taillon trade back in 2021. Then, just last month, the Yankees scooped him back up, only to turn around and DFA him. And now? The Orioles swooped in and snatched him off waivers. I mean, does he even bother unpacking his bags anymore?
When we got Contreras, we wrote A LOT OF POSITIVE HYPE SURROUNDING ROANSY CONTRERAS over here at Bleeding Yankee Blue, and in it, we talked about how high the Yankees were on him:
"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."
Looks like Baltimore gets the comeback story now. Oh well.
