The Minnesota Twins on Wednesday announced that they've signed injured right-hander Michael Pineda to a two-year, $10 million contract. He'll earn $2 million in 2018 and $8 million in 2019.
Pineda, who turns 29 in January, underwent Tommy John surgery in July, making him expected to miss the majority of the 2018 season.
There had been more injury issues for Pineda, and you may remember a game in 2014 when he was ejected for having a foreign substance on his neck.
Last season, he pitched to a 4.39 ERA/103 ERA+ with a 4.38 K/BB ratio in 96 1/3 innings for the Yankees. For his career, Pineda owns an ERA+ of 101 with a 4.38 K/BB ratio across five big-league seasons and 117 starts.
