A former All-Star closer is pursuing an MLB comeback after spending last season out of the league. Former New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia is working out in his bid for a comeback, according to Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com.
Veteran right-hander Jeurys Familia didn’t pitch in affiliated ball last season and didn’t pitch in 2023 beyond the 12 2/3 innings he tossed for the A’s before being released that May.
Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jeurys Familia was denied a win in the team's 8-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday, despite being in the game when the A's went ahead for good.
The 2026 MLB season was driven by top performances from young players, and the crop of young talent in the minors has never been greater. These 25 prospects could emerge as top MLB players in 2027.
Familia just finished a three-year, $30 million deal with the Mets and has primarily been used as a late-inning reliever over his 499 career pitching appearances.
