Phillies Sign Michael Ynoa To Minor League Contract

By Connor Byrne | December 31, 2020 at 9:54pm CDT

The Phillies have signed right-hander Michael Ynoa to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training, Jim Salisbury of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Ynoa – who turned 29 in September – spent last season in the Athletics organization, though he didn’t reach the majors then. It was the second stint with the A’s for Ynoa, a once-touted prospect whom they originally sent to the White Sox in 2014 in a trade that also involved Jeff Samardzija, Marcus Semien and Chris Bassitt, among others.

Ynoa debuted in the bigs with the White Sox in 2016 and pitched to a 4.42 ERA/4.73 FIP with 8.08 K/9 and 5.95 BB/9 across 59 innings through the next season. He hasn’t taken a major league mound since then. Ynoa spent some of 2019 with the Royals at Triple-A, where he has logged a 4.70 ERA and recorded 9.4 K/9 against 5.4 BB/9 over 53 2/3 frames.

      While Dombrowski is digging in the graveyard, for arms that haven’t pitched in the majors, for years, maybe he can reach out to some Ex-Phil’s, from the “Glory Days “, to help the bullpen? Ryan Madsen, Brad Lidge , and Mitch Williams, too name a few..
      You could offer a sign, and make good deal. Times, the way they are, they might take you up on an offer.

        Let’s all join the Josh Bard comeback tour. We could rent a bus, from J. Peterman, hire Michael Richards to drive us to Clearwater.

        But with inflation it’s $1 billion at 11.

      *Going around a room on New Years Eve, Jed Hoyer points to Dave Dombroski*

      Hoyer: “Truth or Dare, Dombro?”

      Dombro: “Dare,” he says, tipping his glass back.

      Hoyer: “I dare you to sign a pitcher to a minor-league deal.”

      Dombro: “Bet.”

          Well, that certainly turned sideways in a hurry! And hey, Hoyer might be bad at making trades, but I bet he gave Dipoto a good show!

          They don’t call him Dombro for nothing.

      @mrtwotone. According to Wikipedia Huascar and Michael are brothers.

    Not exactly the type of FA signing I was hoping the Phillies would announce. However, the bullpen was so bad last year almost anyone can be looked upon as an upgrade.

    Got about six or so weeks until pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. Plenty of time for Dombo and Fuld to make a bigger move(s).

    Two players I would sign are Jurickson Profar and Kevin Pillar. We need a CF and Pillar fills that role. Profar can play all over the place, plus he was pretty darn good over the final 30 games. Padres don’t appear to have a spot for him that would get him regular PT.
