Luis Cessa News
Free agent starting pitcher Luis Cessa has signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals. The 31-year-old posted an ugly 9.00 ERA, 2.231 WHIP, and 11:12 K/BB ratio over 26 innings (seven appearances, six starts) with the Cincinnati Reds last season. He was subsequently released by Cincinnati and then signed a minor league deal with the Rockies. He was then released by Colorado and signed another minor league deal with the Nationals to finish out the 2023 season. He now gets a fresh start with Kansas City and will likely compete for a spot in the starting rotation during spring training.
The Washington Nationals signed free-agent right-hander Luis Cessa to a minor-league deal on Thursday and assigned him to Triple-A Rochester. Cessa began the 2023 season with the Cincinnati Reds but was cut after going 1-4 with an ugly 9.00 ERA (5.44 FIP), 2.23 WHIP, 12 walks and 11 strikeouts in seven appearances (six starts) covering 26 innings. He then latched on with the Colorado Rockies and posted an 8.44 ERA and 1.87 WHIP in six starts for Triple-A Albuquerque in the minor leagues before being cut for the second time this year. The 31-year-old could eventually make it back to the big leagues with the last-place Nationals, but he's obviously well off the fantasy radar. Cessa has a 4.43 career ERA, 1.33 WHIP and weak 18.3% strikeout rate in eight big-league seasons.
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Luis Cessa has been released. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment last week and was officially released on Sunday. He got off to a rough start this year with a 9.00 ERA, 2.23 WHIP, and an 11:12 K/BB ratio over 26 innings (seven appearances, six starts). He'll likely sign with another team in the coming weeks and serve as rotational depth.
