"The Yankees signed right-hander Adam Kloffenstein and catcher Payton Henry to minor league contracts in December, according to the club's official transactions page. 7 News Boston's Ari Alexander writes that Kloffenstein's deal includes an invitation to New York's big league spring camp. Kloffenstein's MLB resume consists of one perfect inning of relief work for the Cardinals in their 6-5 win over the Giants on June 20, 2024."
"This return to the Jays organization didn't go well, as Kloffenstein was tagged for 20 homers over 82 innings with Triple-A Buffalo while posting a 6.26 ERA and 11.7% walk rate. He also spent the first two months of the season on the injured list, Kloffenstein elected minor league free agency at season's end, and he'll now head to the Yankees to try and get his career on track."
The Yankees added right-hander Adam Kloffenstein and catcher Payton Henry on minor league contracts, with Kloffenstein invited to big league spring camp. Kloffenstein made one perfect MLB inning for the Cardinals in June 2024 but faced shoulder issues and was non-tendered after the season. A return to the Blue Jays' system produced a 6.26 ERA, 20 homers allowed in 82 Triple-A innings and an 11.7% walk rate, plus time on the injured list. He elected minor league free agency and joins New York at age 25. Henry has not appeared in the majors since 2021–22 and has spent recent seasons in multiple organizations' minor leagues.
