The New York Mets quietly signed former New York Yankees prospect Anderson Severino to a minor league deal. Likely once known as “the other Severino” back when he was playing in the minors alongside Luis Severino, this one never quite managed to have the same career.
The Yankees cut him before ever reaching the big leagues. Severino would appear in 6 games for the Chicago White Sox in 2022, then departing to play in foreign countries ever since.
Whether playing in affiliated baseball in the United States or elsewhere, control issues have followed Severino. It’ll be the task the Mets try to tame with this 31-year-old southpaw who can strike out the side around walking the bases loaded.
