Yankees Claim Allan Winans

By Steve Adams | January 23, 2025 at 1:01pm CDT

The Yankees have claimed right-hander Allan Winans off waivers from the Braves, who designated him for assignment earlier in the week, as first reported by Chase Ford of MiLB Central.

The 29-year-old Winans saw big league time with the Braves in both 2023 and 2024. He’s been hit hard in the majors, yielding a 7.20 ERA in 40 frames, but has a strong track record in Triple-A. Through 256 innings at the top minor league level, Winans sports a 3.26 ERA, 21.8% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate. He has a minor league option remaining, making him a candidate to give the Yankees some depth in the starting staff or length out of the bullpen.

Winans sits just 90-91 mph with his four-seamer and 89-90 mph with his sinker, coupling those offerings with a low-80s changeup and upper-70s slider. He’s excelled at limiting walks and piling up weak contact throughout his time in Triple-A, which has helped to offset below-average velocity and bat-missing capabilities. Major league hitters haven’t made hard contact with much frequency, but the hard contact he does allow tends to be quite loud; he’s averaged 1.80 homers per nine frames and allowed 10% of his batted balls to be barreled up, per Statcast.

The Yankees have multiple open spots on their 40-man roster, so they won’t necessarily need to make a corresponding move to accommodate Winans. He’ll compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster this spring, but with a crowded rotation that could lead to a trade of Marcus Stroman and a generally veteran bullpen, the Yankees seem likelier to open the year with Winans in Triple-A — assuming he remains on the 40-man roster for the rest of the offseason.

    -0.6 WAR in 7.2 innings, yea that’s bad. A solid minor league player, however.

      Why even bother to look at WAR with that small sample size? Lol. SP/reliever depth. Nothing more.

    Matt Blake has another reclamation project to turn into a formidable bullpen arm for the Yankees.

    Wait till spring starts n Ps start getn hurt around league n deal from position of strength, a contender will bail out yanks on Stroman. Who’d u rather have Stroman or Flaherty ? Both fluctuate wildly.

      Flaherty no question about it. If Cashman thinks he can win the AL East and go on to the World Series with the roster he has now he is delusional. Ain’t happening.

        The Yankees are still the favorites to win the AL East and have as good a shot, if not better, than any team at winning the AL again this year. Their roster is mostly set for the start of the season but I’d expect them to get a bat at the trade deadline

          It looks like Bellinger in LF, Jazz at 2B, and probably Oswaldo at 3B, at least to start the year. I imagine they target either a 2B or 3B at the deadline

    Don’t get too excited Yankees fans, he’s not that guy. Rooted for him in Atl. Has some good tools but can’t seem to put them all together. He’d have a few dominant innings then fall apart. Change of scenery candidate, maybe. But he’s going to NY not Kansas City.

          How are you determining that he would be unable to handle NY? Besides, this a depth move. He was a successful minor league reliever who was converted to SP. Maybe the Yanks will revert him back to bring a bullpen/swing guy?. Either way if he’s relied on to play a major role in 2025 then the Yanks are in trouble.

    Cashman is opening up a Used RH pitching lot. Evidently he has not met a RH reliever he does not like, and has not met a LH reliever he does like.
