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.
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.
