Somewhat of a throwaway name in a previous trade, right-handed starter Luis Medina proved why he’s worth more glimpses and opportunities after a 2023 rookie campaign where he was thrown right into the fire. Expect him to only get better in 2024.
How Acquired?
Medina was acquired along with LHP Ken Waldichuk, LHP JP Sears, and 2B Cooper Bowman on August 1, 2022, from the New York Yankees in exchange for RHP Frankie Montas and RHP Lou Trivino.
What were the expectations?
Medina’s always had nasty stuff on the mound, but the biggest red flag with him as always been command.
