The Toronto Blue Jays have been dealing with a lot of injuries and can use former New York Yankees top prospect Yoendrys Gomez in the bullpen.
While Gomez hasn't been pitching like he knows how lately, he was the Yankees ninth top prospect in their pipeline back in 2022 which is why he might make sense as a low risk move.
He was the Yankees' No. 9 prospect in 2022 per MLB Pipeline and was also their No. 11 prospect in 2023. -Dionis
Blue Jays could be interested in former Yankees top prospect pitcher Yoendrys Gomez
Gomez was recently with the Chicago White Sox however he was DFA'd for the third time this season earlier this week after a stint with the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers as well.
This week, the Chicago White Sox to designated Yoendrys Gómez for assignment, marking the third time that a team designated him for assignment this year. -Dionis
When New York DFA'd Gomez earlier this season it came as a bit of a surprise since he had a 2.70 ERA in 10 innings but it hasn't pitched that well since, as he had a 14.54 ERA with the Dodgers and 8.10 ERA with the White Sox.
Claiming Gomez off waivers might be a solid low risk move for the Blue Jays since he has a solid pitch mix with a fastball in the mid 90's which shows that he might be worth taking a risk on especially since he has had solid numbers in the past.
He has a seven-pitch mix led by a mid-90s fastball. He relies heavily on that fastball and his sweeper . He hasn't fooled many hitters with those pitches, however, as hitters are slugging .420 or better against both pitches. -Dionis
He may be a good candidate for Pete Walker and his pitching staff to fix. If Gomez can step up his game a bit, he can definitely help out in giving the bullpen more depth.
