Jorge Alcala - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs NRI pact with Toronto The Blue Jays signed Alcala to a minor-league contract Dec. 18 that includes an invitation to spring training, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.

Impact Alcala held a 6.22 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 61:30 K:BB across 55 innings in 2025 between the Twins, Red Sox and Cardinals and was non-tendered by St. Louis in November. The hard-throwing reliever will compete for a spot in the Blue Jays' bullpen but is likely to begin the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Buffalo.

Impact Alcala was DFA'd by the Cardinals on Tuesday, and he'll officially enter free agency after being non-tendered by the organization.

Designated for assignment The Cardinals designated Alcala for assignment Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Alcala struggled to find his footing on the mound in 2025, finishing the regular season with a 6.22 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 55 total innings between Minnesota, Boston and St. Louis. He'll have the right to elect free agency if he clears waivers, although he may have to settle for a minor-league deal if he does so.

Claimed by Cardinals The Cardinals claimed Alcala off waivers from the Red Sox on Thursday.

Impact Alcala has split time between the Twins and Red Sox this season, posting a 6.64 ERA and 46:23 K:BB over 40.2 frames. The 30-year-old reliever cannot be optioned to the minors, so he will go onto to the Cardinals' active roster. St. Louis will have to make a corresponding transaction prior to Friday's game versus the Cubs.

Booted from 40-man roster The Red Sox designated Alcala for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Alcala has fanned 46 batters over 40.2 innings this season between the Twins and Red Sox, but he's also walked 23 while posting a 6.64 ERA. Not having minor-league options remaining will hurt him, but it would not be a surprise if another team takes a shot on the hard-throwing reliever.

Source: Red Sox Acquire Jorge Alcala from Minnesota Twins The Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins swung a late night deal that saw the Red Sox acquire bullpen help in exchange for a prospect.

JUNE 12, 2025 • NESN.COM

Traded to Boston The Twins traded Alcala to the Red Sox on Wednesday, Phil Miller of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

Impact Alcala finished the 2024 season with a 3.24 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across 58.1 innings. He hasn't come close to replicating that same success to begin the '25 campaign, however, as he currently owns an 8.88 ERA and 1.81 WHIP through 24.1 frames. He'll now join a Red Sox bullpen that has been bitten by the injury bug over the past couple of weeks, though the 29-year-old righty will likely be limited to low-leverage work until he finds his footing.
