Dodgers Sign William Cuevas To Minor League Deal

By Simon Hampton | April 8, 2023 at 4:02pm CDT

The Dodgers have signed right-hander William Cuevas to a minor league deal. The signing was announced by the Diablos Rojos, Cuevas’ team in the Mexican league. Cuevas will pitch tonight for the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate Oklahoma City.

Cuevas, 32, last appeared in the big leagues in 2018 in a brief stint with the Red Sox. He’s spent the past four seasons in Korea with the KT Wizz, working to a 3.89 ERA over 82 starts and 489 1/3 innings.

Originally signed by the Red Sox out of Venezuela back in 2008, Cuevas worked his way through Boston’s farm system before earning his first big league call up in 2016. While never a top prospect, Cuevas had shown some amount of promise in the minors. His three game stint in the big leagues in 2016 amounted to five innings with three strikeouts, six walks and two earned runs surrendered.

Released at the end of that year by Boston, Cuevas latched on with the Tigers for the 2017 season. He’d only record a single out in his only big league appearance that year, as Cuevas was tagged for four earned runs and found himself released by the Tigers at the end of the year. He played out the rest of the 2017 season with Miami’s Triple-A affiliate.

2018 brought about a return to the Red Sox, and Cuevas’ longest run in the big leagues. The Venezuelan tossed 17 innings of 7.41 ERA ball for Boston, showing off a solid 23.8% strikeout rate alongside a troubling 13.8% walk rate. All told, Cuevas owns an ERA of 8.06 across 22 1/3 big league innings with a career 21.2% strikeout rate and a 15% walk rate.

    The Dodgers’ first 16 games are all against bad teams (again). Crazy…

    Predictable results from signing Chump Syndergaard and still no real World Series title since at least 1988 for the Dodgers and zero chance they win it this year. Chump team.

      But at least they replaced Trea Turner, Corey Seager, etc with washed-up has-beens like noah syndergaard, Jason Heyward, etc. hahaha. Dramatically worse team compared with 2 years ago, aging quickly and very little in the pipeline. The Dodgers’ time as a great regular season team is over and Julio Urias wants *out* from LA in addition to that.

        Forgot to mention Walker Buhler’s imminent free agency. The Dodgers are basically on the verge of rebuild territory. If they lose either Urias or Buehler without replacing them with someone comparable (and it’s very difficult to replace players at their level), they’re completely screwed. And it’s very likely that they will lose both of them and practically a guarantee that they will lose at least 1 of them.

          You can keep responding with your useless insults, I don’t care. Only acknowledging you this time to prove I haven’t muted you, as you’re not even worth the click and since I don’t do that in general anyway.
