Yankees acquired RHP Jio Orozco and RHP Juan De Paula from the Mariners for OF Ben Gamel.
Pitching at the rookie ball level, Orozco was struggling to the tune of a 5.18 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 48 2/3 innings prior to being shuffled over to the Yankees’ system. He did hold a cool 63/16 K/BB ratio in that space. The 19-year-old right-hander isn’t a candidate to hit the majors in the near future.
