Orioles Acquire Jose Godoy From Yankees

By Anthony Franco | June 2, 2023 at 7:28pm CDT

The Yankees have traded minor league catcher José Godoy to the Orioles, according to an announcement from New York’s Triple-A affiliate. While there were no specifics on the return, transactions of this nature tend to see a nominal amount of cash sent the other way. Godoy is not on the 40-man roster, so no additional move was necessary.

Godoy, 28, signed a minor league deal with New York in late March. He’d spent Spring Training with the Angels but was cut loose before the season started. He suited up 11 times with the Yankees’ Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliate, hitting .270/.341/.514 in 41 trips to the plate. He hadn’t played in a game since May 7 and has spent the past few weeks on the development list (typically used to send non-injured players to an organizational complex).

A left-handed hitter, Godoy has 26 MLB games under his belt. He’s divided those among three teams, logging cups of coffee with each of the Mariners, Pirates and Twins. The Venezuela native is a .271/.324/.412 hitter in parts of four Triple-A campaigns.

The Orioles have a pair of Triple-A catchers — Anthony Bemboom and Maverick Handley — on the minor league injured list. Godoy joins Mark Kolozsvary in Norfolk as a healthy non-roster depth option. The Yankees recently optioned Ben Rortvedt to take the majority of their Triple-A catching work.

      Somebody has to catch the ball and return it to the pitcher in Norfolk. Lol. If he’s toast, we drop him after our regular starters return from the IL. But it does feel suddenly like we’re the island where the Yankee castoffs go to live out the remainder of their lives.

      I’m surprised Hicks didn’t just retire after going 2-2 with a walk in his 1st game. Stat line trends will drop like Six Flags coaster from here.

        It’s not really an island. Actually, it turns out it’s purgatory.

      Not about the cash. It’s about moving Godoy so Rortvedt can take over the starting workload.

    He’s been playing professionally since 2012 — 11 years. I hope he gets another chance in the bigs with Baltimore, but realistically he’s not moving Rutschman nor McCann off the roster. He’s only there to be an insurance policy. It would be interesting to see if he does well and it becomes Benboom or Handley that get moved out.
