De Le\u00f3n effectively confirmed the pact himself when he posted an Instagram video of himself putting on a Red Sox hat coupled with the caption, \u201cWe\u2019re back in business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Le\u00f3n broke into professional baseball with the Dodgers, who selected him in the 24th round of the 2013 draft. Four years later, the Puerto Rican pitcher was traded to Tampa Bay, where he ranked as high as the 28th-best prospect in all of baseball in 2017, per MLB Pipeline. De Le\u00f3n also has logged stints with the Cincinnati Reds and, most recently, the Minnesota Twins.<\/p>\n<p>To date, De Le\u00f3n has 34 career MLB appearances (seven starts) under his belt and owns a lifetime 7.44 ERA. He hasn\u2019t pitched in an MLB game since late June 2023, as he underwent Tommy John surgery that month. The 32-year-old will be hard-pressed to carve out a role in Boston this season, but the opportunity nonetheless is in front of him.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Red Sox on Tuesday reportedly reunited with a pitcher who once was among the top 30 prospects in all of baseball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":38891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
