Right-hander Michel Baez has signed with the Mexican League's Sultanes de Monterrey, marking his return to the club he previously pitched for in 2024. Baez’s career began promisingly after being signed by the Padres from Cuba, showing notable potential with a strong debut in 2019. However, injuries, including Tommy John surgery, hampered his progress, limiting him to just five MLB appearances since. His performance in the minors also declined sharply, leading to his release from the Padres in late 2023. Baez's new chapter in Monterrey reflects both a second chance and the challenges he faced in professional baseball.
"Despite impressive early numbers, Michel Baez struggled significantly in the minors and ultimately found himself signing with the Mexican League's Sultanes de Monterrey."
"Baez's move to the bullpen initially seemed successful, but injuries and subsequent poor performance hindered his career progress, resulting in his departure from the Padres."
