On Friday night, the New York Yankees lost to the Milwaukee Brewers by a score of 6-0 in the first game of their series.
Despite the loss, the Yankees are still 7-3 over their last ten games.
Recent Yankees Player Is Still An MLB Free Agent
With the season well under way, it’s worth noting that a recent Yankees player is still a free agent.
Jon Berti remains available to sign with any team in the league as of May 9.
Berti’s Time With The Yankees
Berti was with New York during the 2024 season.
He appeared in 25 regular season games, batting .273 with 18 hits, one home run, six RBI’s, ten runs and five stolen bases.
The 36-year-old also played in four of their MLB playoff games.
SNY’s Yankees Videos wrote (on October 25, 2024): “Aaron Boone shares that Jon Berti got hurt in ALCS Game 4 with a hip flexor scoring a run, which is why he was left off the World Series roster”
Berti’s Entire MLB Career
Berti was picked in the 18th round of the 2011 MLB Draft.
He spent his rookie season with the Toronto Blue Jays, and then went on to play for the Miami Marlins for five seasons.
During the 2022 season, Berti had 41 stolen bases.
After the Marlins, Berti spent one season with the Yankees (and last season with the Chicago Cubs).
Over 512 career games, he is batting .256 with 393 hits, 24 home runs, 128 RBI’s, 232 runs and 108 stolen bases.
It will be interesting to see if a team takes a chance on him before the end of the 2026 MLB season.
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees have been excellent this season, going 26-13 in 39 games, which has them at the top of the American League East.
