April 4: Tully went unclaimed on waivers and has been assigned outright to the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. Because he’s been previously outrighted, Tully has the right to reject the assignment in favor of free agency. However, he intends to remain with the Yankees, MLBTR has learned.
April 1: The Yankees announced that left-hander Tanner Tully has been designated for assignment. His roster spot will go to right-hander Jake Cousins, who was previously reported to be joining the team.
It’s a quick turnaround for Tully, 29, who was in the big leagues just long enough to put his hat on a rack before picking it back up again and then leaving the way he came. The Yanks added him to the roster two days ago and he has now been designated for assignment without appearing in a game.
Since he didn’t appear in a game, that means his major league track record is still just three games he appeared in for the Guardians in 2022. Last year, he signed a minor league deal with the Yankees and posted a 5.64 ERA in 91 Triple-A innings. He was released in August in order to join the NC Dinos of the Korea Baseball Organization, then made 11 starts for that club with a 2.92 ERA.
He signed another minor league deal with the Yanks this winter and got called up when the club used a lot of its relievers in the first few games of the season. Tully got a roster spot to give the club an extra arm but eventually wasn’t needed and will now be quickly removed. The Yanks will have a week to trade Tully or pass him through waivers. He has a previous career outright and would have the right to elect free agency in lieu of accepting another such assignment.
Man Yankees sending bullpen arms up and down faster than a roller coaster.
My point exactly
Does he have a brother named Blanchard?
And another brother named Louis who’s an attorney in NY.
Edmure is the head of House Tully.
Hmmm, could he be on the Weber plan? DFA, re-sign, DFA, re-sign, DFA, re-sign, DFA….
Tampa Bay Yankees over here with the stable of bullpen arms
Looks like Cole is going to make a start every 60 days lmao so they are going to need arms…
All for cousins???
Hell yeah! Cousins has shown swing and miss stuff in MLB. I’m not saying he’s the next Holmes but he has more upside than Tully and Martinez.
We hardly knew ya!
should Have to be used in 1 game/ appearance b4 being sent back down! That is rough…
And, Cousins will be DFA’d tmrw!
There was a time when a reliever trying to stick in mlb ,after tossing a 123 and out , be so happy if the manager sends him out for another inning to show his stuff. Now if you’re being sent out for a second inning you’re probably DFA’d tomorrow. Sent out for a third inning and you’re for sure looking for a new team tomorrow
Such is life at the back of the pitching staff. The moral of the story is establish yourself before you run out of options.
He has a sister named Alice who plays classical music in New York City only.
Yankees have zero chance of winning the division
Might as well stay. He’ll be shuttled up again and there’s a good chance they’ll make him a better reliever.
I always liked Arn Anderson more than Tully anyways
Wow, I haven’t heard that name for 30 years
there’s a guy in an alleyway in scranton selling black-market options
