Yankees Re-Sign Danny Coulombe

By Steve Adams | September 4, 2019 at 9:27am CDT

The Yankees have signed left-handed reliever Danny Coulombe to a minor league contract for a second time, Conor Foley of the Scranton Times-Tribune reports (via Twitter). New York brought Coulombe into the fold on a minor league pact last winter but gave him his release from the organization on July 1. Coulombe signed with the Brewers a couple of weeks later but opted out of that deal late last month and is now returning to the Yanks.

Coulombe, 29, is a veteran of parts of five Major League seasons split between the Dodgers and Athletics. From 2016-18 with the A’s, the former 25th-round pick tallied 123 innings with a 4.10 ERA and a 119-to-50 K/BB ratio in 123 innings of relief work. In that time, Coulombe limited opposing left-handed batters to a paltry .237/.298/.338 batting line and allowed just four home runs to same-handed foes.

The 2019 season has been a bizarre one for Coulombe. He’s spent the year in an explosive offensive environment in Triple-A and served up nine home runs in 36 1/3 innings of work (2.2 HR/9). But, Coulombe has also missed at an eye-popping level — the likes of which we’ve never seen from the 5’10” southpaw. While he’s posted double-digit K/9 marks throughout his minor league tenure, Coulombe has turned in a superlative 15.1 K/9 mark in 2019. He’s totaled 61 strikeouts in his 36 1/3 frames, striking out 36 percent of the total hitters he’s faced.

Coulombe is still in line to be a free agent at season’s end, unless the Yankees opt to add him to the Major League roster, at which point he’d be arbitration-eligible (and also a non-tender candidate). Coulombe’s official return to the organization came on Aug. 31 — he was initially assigned to Class-A Tampa but did not pitch there — so he could technically be a postseason option if the Yankees see fit to carry him. If not, he can at least give Aaron Boone another lefty setup/middle relief option alongside Zack Britton, Nestor Cortes Jr. and recently selected Tyler Lyons should he find his way to the MLB level.

    Yankees can’t develop any pitching so they scavenge off the trash heap.

    Did anybody say “need a lefthander”?
    Chasen Shreve is standing there saying, “Yoo-hoo! I’m not mad!”.
