Wilmer Difo News
The New York Yankees and free-agent infielder Wilmer Difo agreed to a split contract on Friday that will pay him $1.2 million if he's in the majors in 2023, according to a source. The 30-year-old will receive a non-roster invite to major-league spring training. He'll be hoping to earn a roster spot on Opening Day as a utility infielder for the Yankees. The Dominican switch-hitter only played in three games in the majors last season for the Arizona Diamondbacks, and he has a mediocre .250/.311/.353 slash line with a .664 OPS, 19 home runs, 103 RBI, 158 runs and 24 stolen bases in 493 career games over eight major-league seasons with three teams. Difo doesn't have any fantasy appeal.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have reportedly signed infielder Wilmer Difo to a minor league deal, according to FanSided's Robert Murray. Also per Murray, Difo will report to Major League Spring Training. The infielder made his Major League debut with the Washington Nationals in 2015 and stayed with Washington through the 2020 campaign. The veteran signed with Pittsburgh last January and logged 240 plate appearances for the National League Central franchise last season, hitting .269 with a .329 on-base percentage, four home runs, and a stolen base. Able to play second base, shortstop, and third base, he'll give the Diamondbacks some additional infield depth behind starters Ketel Marte, Nick Ahmed, and Josh Rojas.
Pittsburgh Pirates utility player Wilmer Difo went 3-for-5 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in a 6-5 win over the Cubs on Sunday. Difo has been primarily used as a pinch-hitter or late-inning replacement, but with injuries affecting the Pirates' outfield, Difo could be in line for a slight bump in playing time. In 24 games this season, Difo is now slashing .273/.304/.477 with one home run, six RBI and five runs scored. When he is in the starting lineup, he could be worth considering as a replacement off the bench in NL-only or deep mixed leagues.
