As the same reporter shared in his tweet, the All-Star speculated that the Yankees\u2019 pitching composition would see a reshape as they already had a lefty pitcher in the form of Max Fried. Cortes mentioned that he might find himself in an \u201codd-man-out\u201d situation, and that is exactly what happened to him.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-brewers-now-needs-nestor-cortes-jr-and-caleb-durbin\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brewers Now Needs Nestor Cortes Jr. And Caleb Durbin<\/h2>\n<p>So,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalprosports.com\/mlb\/nestor-cortes-jr-gets-trolled-from-yankees-rivals-after-being-traded-to-the-brewers\/\">Nestor Cortes Jr. is now a former Yankees<\/a>\u00a0along with his infielder teammate Caleb Durbin. The duo is now headed to the Milwaukee Brewers where they will get to work building team\u2019s 2025 roster. Cortes, a seasoned left-handed pitcher, brings a good amount of experience. He has a career record of 33-21 and a 3.80 ERA over 135 games, including a All-Star season in 2022.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">New Brewer Caleb Durbin showed out during the Arizona Fall League this year \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>He hit .312, swiped 29 bags (an AFL record!), and dazzled on defense <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/TAP6g6I3vu\">pic.twitter.com\/TAP6g6I3vu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1867665539197436100?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>With what he learned best being a Yankees player,\u00a0Cortes might certainly play a crucial role in the Brewers\u2019 starting rotation.
