The Yankees have agreed to a minor-league deal with lefty Wade LeBlanc,
according to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick (via Twitter). He’ll receive an
invitation to MLB Spring Training and an opt-out opportunity just before the
start of the season, per Crasnick, who notes that the deal comes with a
potential $1MM base rate of pay in the Majors. USA Today’s Bob Nightengale
adds that LeBlanc also has an opt-out on June 15 and would earn a monthly
salary of $32K in the minors. LeBlanc is represented by CAA Baseball.
LeBlanc, 33, engineered a return to the majors after spending a season in
Japan in 2015 (and then appearing on the MLBTR Podcast). After spending some
time as a swingman for the Mariners in 2016, he landed with the Pirates and
threw well enough to earn a major-league contract in the following offseason.
Things didn’t go quite as hoped in 2017, as LeBlanc managed only a 4.50 ERA
with 7.1 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in his 68 innings in Pittsburgh. He did carry a
personal-best 9.6% swinging-strike rate, though, and fielding-independent
pitching metrics valued his output as better than the results (e.g. 3.97
SIERA).
As has long been the case, LeBlanc was much more effective last year against
righties than when pitching against same-handed batters. It seems he’ll join
a camp battle to earn a place as a long man for the Yankees.
