The Boston Red Sox have agreed to terms on a minor league deal with a former Los Angeles Dodgers top prospect.<\/p>\n

Jose De Le\u00f3n was once the third-ranked prospect in the Dodgers organization before flaming out.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

De Le\u00f3n himself first hinted at the news on Tuesday, sharing a video on Instagram with the caption “Where to?” while wearing a Red Sox cap. Romero later confirmed on X that De Le\u00f3n had reached a minor league deal with Boston.<\/p>\n

The right-hander missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery. He was just five years removed from his first Tommy John procedure.<\/p>\n

Reliever Jos\u00e9 De Le\u00f3n has agreed to a minor league deal with the Red Sox, per @francysromeroFR.<\/p>\n

Last spent time in the big leagues in 2023 with the Twins. 4.67 ERA\/3.83 FIP in 17.2 IP. 8.8 K\/9 and 2.6 BB\/9.<\/p>\n

During his recovery, De Le\u00f3n returned to the mound in November, pitching for Criollos de Caguas in the Puerto Rican Winter League. He logged a 1.32 ERA while striking out 15 batters and allowing 12 hits.<\/p>\n

Injuries have kept De Le\u00f3n from establishing a steady role in the majors. Over parts of six seasons, he has yet to log 20 big-league innings in a single year, splitting time across four different teams. His most recent appearance was with the Minnesota Twins two years ago, where he allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over 17.1 innings, striking out 17 while walking five.<\/p>\n

During the 2023-24 offseason, he was outrighted from Minnesota\u2019s 40-man roster and spent last year as a free agent before making his comeback in winter ball in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

His performance there impressed Boston\u2019s evaluators enough to earn him another shot in affiliated baseball. He is expected to start the season with Triple-A Worcester.<\/p>\n

De Le\u00f3n has posted solid numbers at the Triple-A level, carrying a 3.44 ERA over 199 innings across six seasons.<\/p>\n

De Le\u00f3n was drafted by the Dodgers in the 24th round of the 2013 MLB Draft and made his major league debut with Los Angeles in 2016. Over parts of six MLB seasons, he has struggled to find consistent playing time. Across 65.1 career innings, he holds a 7.44 ERA.<\/p>\n

De Le\u00f3n was traded from the Dodgers to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2017 for infielder Logan Forsythe.<\/p>\n
