Yankees Reportedly Sign Ex-Red Sox Pitcher After Inconsistent Season

New York reportedly signed a former member of the Red Sox on Monday

One former member of the Boston Red Sox organization reportedly has found a new home with the New York Yankees.

New York has been extremely busy this offseason and seemingly has made star-studded moves left and right. Although most of the speculation involving the Yankees this offseason has involved superstars, the club still is looking to improve depth in the organization, as well.

The Yankees entered the offseason with exceptional minor league pitching depth but has seen it depleted fast after trades with the Red Sox as well as the San Diego Padres. Plus, the Rule 5 Draft didn't help.

New York is looking to add more depth with upside and reportedly signed former Red Sox lefty Oddanier Mosqueda to a minor league contract, according to Beyond The Monster's Chris Henrique.

"Former (Worcester Red Sox) lefty Oddanier Mosqueda has signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees, per his IG story," Henrique said.

Mosqueda has been with the Red Sox organization since 2016 and has worked his way up the farm system. The 24-year-old spent the 2023 campaign with the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox and logged a 5.31 ERA across 48 outings. Mosqueda compiled a 74-to-39 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 61 innings pitched. 

The lefty has a career 4.21 ERA in seven professional seasons and at one point seemed like he was going to be part of the Red Sox's big league bullpen. If he were more consistent last season, he likely would've made the jump. Mosqueda didn't make the big league club out of spring training and didn't get fully on track.

It wouldn't be too surprising to see Mosqueda make his big league debut next season with New York.
