Padres Sign Jimmy Yacabonis To Minors Deal

By Mark Polishuk | December 19, 2019 at 7:08pm CDT

The Padres have signed right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis to a minor league contract, MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports (Twitter link).

Over his three MLB seasons, Yacabonis has seen action as both a starter and a reliever for the Orioles, though he hasn’t found much success in either role.  The 27-year-old has a 5.75 ERA over 101 2/3 career innings (starting 11 of 55 games), with a 6.6 K/9 and only a 1.32 K/BB rate.  Yacabonis has also been plagued by the long ball over the last two seasons in particular, with a 1.9 HR/9 over his last 81 frames of work.

Yacabonis does have a live arm and a 94mph fastball, so there’s little risk for the Padres in taking to him to Spring Training and seeing if they can unlock some potential in the New Jersey native.  Yacabonis will see some familiar faces from Baltimore, as former Orioles coaches Wayne Kirby and Bobby Dickerson and former O’s utilityman Ryan Flaherty are all on San Diego’s coaching staff, and of course former O’s star Manny Machado is now holding down third base for the Padres.

Ok so the blackout was a big problem for everybody ok, I was stuck in an elevator for two hours and i had to make the time, but i don’t blame them cause one time i turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you.

        It was in the Paramus Holiday Inn, I was having a drink at the bar, alone, and this alien approached me. He started talking to me. He bought me a drink, and then I think he must have used some kind of a ray or a mind control device because he forced me to follow him to his room and that’s where he told me about the end of the world.

    I saw him get lit up by the Padres in Baltimore last summer. The Padres must have really liked him.

      KT found Heath Bell…..Preller found Brad Hand and Kirby Yates.
      So maybe he “is” Kevin Towers.

      Besides…..this isn’t our #3 starter……relax.

        Go look at Preller’s trades for major leaguers and tell me he is even average.

        KT was known for his trades not so much for his trade picks, KT God bless him was one of the best GM’s we’ve had. He really knew the game was SP and a good RP, then came defense.

    Who knows maybe he will be a middle reliever if his ERA shown above is really that good. I’m for the underdogs, but don’t get me wrong I’d really like to see Clevinger in our SP rotation or someone even in a second tier SP who can bring us 180 innings with an ERA under 4 and get us at least 12 W’s.
