Red Sox strike gold again by fleecing Yankees of Brian Keller from the Yankees’ Double A Somerset roster in the Triple A phase of the 2021 Rule 5 Draft Wednesday.
Keller, who is also 27, was a 39th-round pick out of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2016.
He compiled a 2.77 ERA in 55? innings to go along with 65 strikeouts in 2021. He has walked close to three batters per nine innings for his career. Command proved to be a problem last year with Keller, as he yielded 7.5 walks per nine innings because the Yankees wanted the lefty to throw righty against righties.
Because of the ongoing lockout at the major league level, there hasn’t been a major league phase of the Rule 5 Draft this year.
