Yankees Claim Justin Thomas Off Waivers

By Zachary Links | May 12, 2012 at 3:34pm CDT

The Yankees have claimed left-handed reliever Justin Thomas off of waivers from the Red Sox, Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger confirms (via Twitter).  The move was first reported by Maureen Mullen of CSNNE.com (via Twitter). 

Thomas, 28, was removed from Boston's 40-man roster earlier this week and has one minor league option remaining.  The reliever has a 4.14 ERA with 8.1 K/9 and 3.8 BB/9 in eight seasons as a minor leaguer.

    Not trying to start anything here.. But NY taking Thomas kinda means they would claim almost any LH with a pulse..

        I feel as though a “Can he pitch?” – B. Cashman reference is in order.

      Can they please take Andrew Miller too?

         LOL. Ya gotta admit, Miller so far has done better than Rich “thrill” (or is it heart attack?) Hill!

          True. It’s still such a small sample size for both.

    If he ends up pitching against the Sox and magically starts being able to shut down batters I’m just going to scream.

    The difference is that he is depth for our minor league system and he was a part of your mlb bullpen!

    He is a part of our AAA team and a part of your MLB team don’t be silly he is just depth in case rapada gets hurt or sucks

    Nice move Yankees getting Justin Thomas. He is LH with decent MiL stats. He has pretty good K numbers. His walks are a little too high, albeit.
