Yankees Sign Chasen Shreve To Minors Contract

By Mark Polishuk | August 28, 2022 at 1:50pm CDT

The Yankees have signed Chasen Shreve to a minor league contract, according to the club’s official MLB.com transactions page.  Shreve hinted on his Instagram page Friday (hat tip to Conor Foley of the Scranton Times-Tribune) that he was headed for a return stint with the Yankees organization.

The left-hander previously pitched for the Yankees from 2015-18, until he and Giovanny Gallegos were dealt to the Cardinals for Luke Voit and $1MM in international bonus pool money in July 2018.  Shreve also returned to New York in two separate stints with the Mets, both in 2020 and earlier this season.

The Mets released Shreve in July, after the lefty posted a 6.49 ERA over 26 1/3 innings.  This tenure ended in particularly disastrous fashion, as Shreve was crushed for 10 runs over the last 5 1/3 of those frames.  Opposing batters have hit six home runs off Shreve in those 26 1/3 innings, a resurgence of the homer problem that has periodically hampered him during his nine years in the majors.

Between the homers and some command issues, consistency has often hard to come by for Shreve, but he has been quite effective when at his best.  It was just last season that Shreve had a 3.20 ERA over 56 1/3 innings with the Pirates, as despite mediocre strikeout and walk rates, Shreve was one of the league’s best at limiting hard contact.

Shreve had a 3.92 ERA over his 174 2/3 previous innings with the Yankees, exhibiting some of those same ups and downs that have defined his career.  He is the second experienced left-hander added by the Bronx Bombers in two days, with Anthony Banda signed to a Major League deal today.  The Yankees look to be adding southpaw depth in advance of the postseason, and in the wake of Aroldis Chapman’s placement on the 15-day injured list yesterday.

    The great Chasen Shreve. How many times we had this guy and cut him. If our season rest upon this, we are truly lost, Since he stinks and it’s been cut by so many teams is a reason why.

    What we really need are some bats, that could actually hit, that’s really what’s hurting this team right now. That and that that’s we don’t have a real closer, it’s closer by committee, and it leaves too much up to Boone to decide what to do, and Boone is shown that he is incompetent when he comes to handling the bullpen

      Let’s be honest, we knew what we were getting when the Yankees hired Boone…no managerial experience at any level. I feel like his 2003 also HR basically got him hired. What gets me is that Cashman (the other big problem) extended his contract.

      Both of them need to be unemployed.

      @LordD99,

      This team is so inconsistent it’s hard to appraise their level of play. I believe the most inconsistent part of their game has been their offense but you could make a case for their bullpen. It’s amazing how much the pen misses Michael King and the offense misses Matt Carpenter. How can play 11 innings against Oakland and get 1 hit?
      Hope they hit one of their hot streaks during the playoffs but I am getting dubious about their chances.

    If the Yankees fail to get out of the first round there will be reprisals. And not just the Phil Nevin variety. On the other hand, if bringing in canon-fodder guys like Bard and Banda and Shreve allows them to hold serve and spare their rotation/pen in the run up to October? The next new trend in MLB.

      Nothing is going to happen. Steinbrenner is running the Yankees like “Barnum’s Grand Scientific and Musical Theater” His motto is that there is a sucker born every minute come one come all come and see the home run.. He and this organization is a disgrace to the Yankees History!

      The Yankees are losing the close games they were once winning. They’re almost solely reliant on Judge for their offense in any given game, except on the rare occasion when they throw a 9-spot on the board and everyone contributes.

      The biggest problem I see is that they’ve made plenty of moves, dropped plenty of prospect capital, and spent plenty of money to remain stagnant – they haven’t advanced their ball club. One case in point is the Monty-for-Montas exchange. It’s resulted in losses. Monty performed better than Montas on the Yankees and is currently outperforming him on the Cards. Montas has somehow turned into German Jr.

      Let’s not forget to mention the significant advantages the Yankees have with the Rays injuries setting them back some. This year the Yanks are being carried by the clear AL MVP candidate, Aaron Judge. It’s a frightening thought to imagine this club’s performance without him on the roster.

        “With the Rays’ injuries setting them back some” – understatement of the season. The Rays have been decimated by injuries the entire season.

        They have been truly horrid since the all star break, and over the last month they struggle to win a single ball game, Even against the leagues worst teams. This does not auger well in the playoffs, if they even manage to limp their way there.

        They spent plenty of money, enough money to be competitive with the league’s best. The problem is I see it is they don’t spend it wisely and that’s typical of the Yankees in Cashman era unfortunately

    Cashman Continues his dumpster diving, trying to see what sticks. How about trying to find a bat, this offense is truly been putrid. Anything they try at this point can’t be much worse and could possibly be better at least for a while

    Name one pitcher that cashman has traded for that has been better or even equal to what they showed on their former team? Montas, Weaver, Gray, Pavano, Javier Vazquez (twice), Randy Johnson, Jack MacDowell, Kenny Rogers, Neagle and probably more.

    Even Cole hasn’t been as advertised!

    The only guys I can give Cashman credit for are those lightning in a bottle guys that you’ve never heard of. But those guys fizzle out and are released within the next year or so.

    Nestor Cortes is a great find! But he doesn’t really fit into the big trade point category. Think he was a Free Agent.

      The Cole contract, IMO, was foolish. Bauer had specifically called out Cole a year earlier over the Spider Tack issue, but did Cashman even bother to ask Cole about it before backing up the Brinks truck at Boras’s front door? In 2019, Cole’s fastball was by far his most valuable pitch according to Fangraphs’ Pitch Value ratings, tops in the majors. How’s that gonna play out as he ages?

        Cole was the right pitcher signed at the wrong time (too late), and for way too much money for the length of contract he received.

        But, Cashman has frequently missed many key acquisitions at the right time… Harper, T. Turner, Mad Max (2x), Verlander, Cole the first time, and on and on and on… But, we will take Donaldson at 36yo, at a cool $25M.

          It appears to me that Boras played Cashman like a toy ukulele and Cashman bid against himself.
