Clayton Andrews Elects Free Agency

By Steve Adams | June 27, 2024 at 11:44am CDT

Yankees left-hander Clayton Andrews rejected an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in favor of free agency, the team announced. Andrews wasn’t claimed off waivers following his recent DFA. As a player who’s been previously outrighted earlier in his career (back in April by the Yankees), he had the right to decline a minor league assignment. He’ll now explore other opportunities around the league (though a new minor league deal with New York is certainly possible).

The 27-year-old Andrews appeared in one game with the Yankees this season and allowed three runs in just one-third of an inning. He’s been tagged for an unsightly 10 earned runs in a total of 3 2/3 MLB frames over the past two seasons between the Yankees and Brewers — his only big league work to date.

Andrews’ 2024 struggles extend beyond that brief time on the big league roster. He’s tossed 24 2/3 innings in Triple-A and been tagged for a 5.84 ERA with nearly as many walks (20.4%) as strikeouts (25.9%). That said, he pitched 57 innings of 2.53 ERA ball with a hearty 31.1% strikeout rate for the Brewers’ Triple-A club in Nashville as recently as last season.

Andrews has a 3.66 ERA in 91 career Triple-A innings and an overall 3.49 earned run average in parts of six minor league seasons since being selected in the 17th round by the Brewers back in 2018. Walks have always been an issue for the undersized (5’6″) lefty, but Andrews has fanned 29% of his Triple-A opponents and nearly one-third of his total minor league opponents since being drafted.

    Will there be any trades for bullpen help?
    Largely the news coming out about possible trade i.e. MILLER OR VLAD seems speculative at best.

    Is Gleyber, LaMay or Rizzo going to be moved?

      The only move for Torres, DJ or Rizzo would either be trading for another player underperforming or just DFAing them. Right now they don’t have any definite upgrades for them so hopefully at least Torres will get better. I can see a Rizzo DFA coming. Speculation on Vlad and Alonso is nothing but click bait.
      With the bullpen Efross is due back soon. Getting Tanner Scott is the most likely move.

      I expect Cashman to trade for a reliever and a 1B bat. Gleyber makes $14MM so he can’t be moved without eating some of his salary. His potential replacement in Peraza isn’t hitting well in AAA. Neither is DJL. Nobody is taking Rizzo. The Yanked are stuck with them.

    Yeah, you’re right! No team is willing to take on those players for anything decent in return.
    Click bate for the Foul territory boys to talk about. Ha!

    With back-to-back seasons of a 27.00 ERA, you’d think the comfort and security of minor league ball would have more appeal.

    Just the kind of guy who’ll end up with the Pirates thanks to the “genius” of Ben Cherington
