Yankees Sign Chris Leroux To Major League Deal

By Mark Polishuk | April 28, 2014 at 11:32am CDT

The Yankees signed Chris Leroux to a Major League contract and added the right-hander to their 25-man roster, the club announced over the weekend.  Leroux joined the Yankees on a minor league deal signed in January.  Leroux is represented by the Octagon Agency.

Leroux, who just turned 30 earlier this month, has a 5.56 ERA, 1.91 K/BB rate and 8.1 K/9 over 69 2/3 career Major League innings.  He appeared in 63 games out of the bullpen for the Marlins and Pirates between 2009-13 and he’ll take on a similar relief role with New York.  The righty also spent time in Japan last season pitching for the Yakult Swallows.

    Signing Pirate and Marlin cast-offs is always a good sign as to the strength of your pitching staff.

      He is likely only going to be used if there is a blow-out. Yankee relievers have been strong. (Betances, Kelley, Robertson, Warren, Thornton) The bullpen era is a bit bloated however because Girardi likes to put in random guys in games where the Yankees are down by 3+ runs.

      The Pirates had the third best MLB pitching staff by ERA and FIP in 2013, Marlins #7 FIP, #11 ERA. Not a bad pitching staff to pick up some scraps from.

        Which would be relevant if he’d pitched more than ten minutes for either team; the reality is that Leroux’s last meaningful big-league time was with a Pirate club in 2011 that finished 13th in the NL in FIP, and he couldn’t stick with them. Leroux is the original Scary Fly Ball guy.

    Same as the Billings “signing” from Friday. The Yankees didn’t sign Leroux to a Major League contract. They selected his contract after signing him to a minor league contract in January.

    Why won’t they give Montgomery a shot?
