On Tuesday, the Yankees dealt RHP Jordan Foley to Colorado in exchange for 23-year old Jefrey Valdez.
Foley, 25, was drafted in the 5th round of the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft by New York. The righty has a career 3.50 ERA across five minor league seasons but was Rule 5 eligible. While certainly impressive, the organization believed he was not worthy of a 40-man roster spot, hence the trade to the Rockies.
Valdez was signed by the Rockies on May 5, 2015 out of Nato Mayor, Dominican Republic. The righty spent the 2018 season with the Boise Hawks of the Class A-Short Season Northwest League.
