MLB World Reacts To Yankees Adding Pitcher
Also on Monday, news came out that the Yankees had acquired John Schreiber.
MLB.com wrote (on August 31): “New York Yankees claimed RHP John Schreiber off waivers from Kansas City Royals.”
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
Joel Sherman: “The Yankees’ plan is for Schreiber to join the team tomorrow (Tuesday) in Anaheim when rosters expand and a 14th pitcher can be added.”
Anne Rogers: “The Yankees claimed right-handed reliever John Schreiber, a source told MLB.com. #Royals placed him on waivers over the weekend. The free agent-to-be ends his time in Kansas City with a 3.71 ERA across three seasons.”
@snyyankees: “Per @Joelsherman1, the Yankees have claimed John Schreiber off of waivers from the Royals. Schreiber has appeared in 55 games for the Royals this season and has pitched to a 3.65 ERA”
Jake Eisenberg: “Going to miss Denny saying “Schhhrrreeiber.” Schreiber had a 3.71 ERA in 188 career games for the Royals over the last three seasons. His 188 appearances with one team since 2024 are 11th-most in MLB in that span.”
Jorge Castillo: “The Yankees have claimed right-handed reliever John Schreiber off waivers, a source confirmed to ESPN. He had a 3.55 ERA in 55 games for the Royals. Strong splits: .414 OPS vs. RHH, 1.024 OPS vs. LHH. @Joelsherman1 was on the news first.”
@YankeeReport_: “John Schreiber against RHH this season: 0.58 WHIP | 2.78 FIP | 3.12 xFIP | .143 OPP AVG | 21.2% K-BB% He has DOMINATED righties all season long.”
@jazayerli: “Putting him on waivers while even on the fringes of contention was just a weird thing to do to save $600K – especially right before rosters expand. Schreiber never got groundballs as often as you’d like, but he is death on RHB – they’ve hit .209/.271/.319 for his career.”
@VirginiaYankee1: “Schreiber is outpitching his FIP this year (4.87 vs a 3.65 ERA) but he’s a veteran you can trust to compete. Like this pickup”
