Tyler Duffey Stats

The Kansas City Royals agreed to terms on minor-league deals with right-handers Tyler Duffey and Dan Altavilla, infielder Mike Brosseau and left-hander Sam Long on Thursday. Duffey and Brosseau are the most notable names. The 32-year-old Duffey made only one relief appearance with the Chicago Cubs in the majors in 2023, but he carries nine years of big-league experience with a career 4.57 ERA (3.97 FIP), 1.29 WHIP and six saves in 477 innings pitched. Brosseau, 29, hit just .205 (15-for-73) with four home runs and eight RBI in 29 games for the Milwaukee Brewers this past season before being cut and heading overseas to play in Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan. All four of KC's signings on Thursday will add minor-league depth for the 2024 campaign.

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent right-hander Tyler Duffey as a non-roster invitee on Friday, according to a source. Duffey will compete for a bullpen job in spring training. He made 295 appearances for the Minnesota Twins over the last eight seasons, and the Cubs have a good track record with these types of free-agent relievers. The 32-year-old veteran has a good shot of making the Cubs bullpen out of spring training. Last year with Minnesota, he had a 4.91 ERA (4.79 FIP), 1.36 WHIP, two saves and 21.1 percent strikeout rate in 44 innings over 40 relief appearances. In eight major-league seasons, he has a 4.57 ERA (3.96 FIP), 1.29 WHIP and six saves in 475 innings. If Duffey makes the big-league club, he won't have much fantasy appeal, if any.

The New York Yankees signed free-agent relief pitcher Tyler Duffey to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday. Duffey had a 1.88 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in 24 innings for the Minnesota Twins in the shortened 2020 season. In 44 innings pitched for Minnesota earlier this year, Duffey went 2-4 with a 4.91 ERA (4.81 FIP), a 1.36 WHIP and a 39:15 K:BB in 40 relief appearances, including two saves. The 31-year-old right-hander was also briefly with the Texas Rangers this year, but he didn't appear in the majors. Duffey will likely report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and he'll provide some veteran relief depth for the Yankees down the stretch and into the postseason.
