The righty first implied that he\u2019d reached an agreement with Boston on social media.<\/p>\n<p>De Le\u00f3n, now 32, was once a top prospect while he was coming up through the Dodgers\u2019 system. Injuries have largely prevented him from carving out a consistent role. De Le\u00f3n has pitched in parts of six seasons but didn\u2019t reach 20 major league frames in any. That has been divided among four teams. His most recent action came with the Twins two years ago. De Le\u00f3n gave up 10 runs (nine earned) in 17 1\/3 innings. He recorded 17 strikeouts while issuing five walks.<\/p>\n<p>That season was cut short in June. De Le\u00f3n underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career, five years removed from his first such procedure. That ill-timed operation cost him the entire \u201924 campaign. De Le\u00f3n was outrighted off Minnesota\u2019s 40-man roster during the 2023-24 offseason. He remained a free agent last year but made his comeback in winter ball in his native Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>De Le\u00f3n impressed Boston evaluators enough to get another affiliated opportunity. He\u2019ll likely begin the season with Triple-A Worcester. De Le\u00f3n has solid numbers at the top minor league level. He carries a 3.44 ERA over 199 Triple-A innings divided between six seasons. De Le\u00f3n hasn\u2019t found much success in his scattered MLB opportunities. He has allowed 7.44 earned runs per nine over 65 1\/3 big league frames despite a near-27% strikeout rate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>View Comments (15)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox are signing righty Jose De Leon to a minor league deal.
