"Former Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Jose Ureña signed with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in Japan on Wednesday. Ureña pitched in just two games for the Dodgers in 2025, throwing three innings and allowing a single run during his time with the Dodgers. He spent just 10 days on the Dodgers roster, signing June 3 and electing free agency after being DFA'd June 13."
"The right-hander played for five different teams in 2025, beginning the season with the New York Mets before moving to the Toronto Blue Jays, the Dodgers, the Minnesota Twins and the Los Angeles Angels. Ureña made headlines during the World Series as one of two players to have played at the MLB level for both teams in the Fall Classic during the regular season - the other being infielder Buddy Kennedy."
"He made a total of 19 appearances in 2025, posting a 4.58 ERA through 55 innings pitched while striking out 34 batters. The most appearances he made for a single team last season was six, reaching the number with both the Blue Jays and the Angels. Ureña made his MLB debut in 2015 for the Miami Marlins, and remained with the team through the 2020 season."
