Yankees Snatch Kenta Maeda After Cubs Release: Could This Be a Game-Changer?
Seeking to add potential starting pitching depth, the New York Yankees have reportedly signed Kenta Maeda to a minor-league contract.
Maeda and the Yankees were in discussions on a possible deal, the New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports. Independent journalist Yuki Yamada followed up with a report that the two sides agreed to a contract.

The right-hander, 37, was designated for assignment by the Detroit Tigers in May after seven appearances in which he compiled a 7.86 ERA with eight strikeouts in eight innings. Maeda signed a two-year, $24 million contract with the Tigers before the 2024 season. But he’d been demoted to the bullpen during the 2024 season while accumulating a 6.09 ERA and 3-7 record.
