Yankees acquire international signing money from Seattle for RHP Adam Warren
The New York Yankees announced Monday that they have acquired international signing bonus pool money from the Seattle Mariners in exchange for right-handed pitcher Adam Warren.
Warren, 30, appeared in 24 games for the Yankees in 2018, posting an 0-1 record with a 2.70 ERA (30.0IP, 26H, 9ER, 12BB, 37K, 3HR). Originally selected by the New York Yankees in the fourth round of the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, the University of North Carolina graduate compiled a 20-20 record with six saves and a 3.18 ERA (407.0IP, 354H, 144ER, 132BB, 361K, 37HR) in 246 games (20 starts) over seven years and two stints with the club (2012-15, 2016-18).
He was traded to the Chicago Cubs with a player to be named later (Brendan Ryan) on December 8, 2015, for second baseman Starlin Castro. After going 3-2 with a 5.91 ERA (35.0IP, 31H, 23ER, 19BB, 27K, 1HR) in 29 games (one start) for the Cubs, Warren was traded back to the Yankees on July 25, 2016, along with second baseman Gleyber Torres and outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford in exchange for left-handed pitcher Aroldis Chapman.
