7/17/25 Yankees rumors: NY monitoring 2-time MLB All-Star pitcher ahead of trade deadline. The New York Yankees are eyeing upgrades to their bullpen, and one name generating serious buzz is Carlos Estevez. The two-time All-Star has emerged as a prime target as teams prepare for the trade deadline, with the Yankees reportedly monitoring him for several months. With the Yankees' bullpen dealing with inconsistency and a lack of reliable late-inning options, Estevez could be the kind of trusted arm they need to stabilize the unit.

5/08/25 Royals Ink Former Mets Reliever To Minor League Deal. The Kansas City Royals got off to a dreadful 8-14 start this season. However, since that start, Kansas City is now on a roll. They have won 14 of their last 16 games and now have a record of 22-16, which has them firmly cemented in the second American League Wild Card spot as the first week of May nears its end. They have a strong pitching staff that if keeping them afloat and making up for any offensive struggles they have had.

2/09/25 Former Philadelphia Phillies Prospect Expected to Develop into Star Player. The Philadelphia Phillies have been able to sustain success for as long as they have because they do an excellent job of balancing win-now moves at the Major League level without sacrificing all of their long-term assets. Ahead of last year's trade deadline, they unloaded a few in a trade with the Los Angeles Angels to acquire relief pitcher Carlos Estevez to bolster the bullpen for the stretch run. Center fielder Brandon Marsh was also acquired from the Angels in August 2022.

2/09/25 Philadelphia Phillies Predicted to Reunite with Long-Time Relief Pitcher. With pitchers and catchers set to report soon for the Philadelphia Phillies, a long offseason is nearly over. Coming into the winter, the Phillies appeared like a team that could have seen significant change. While the addition of Romano at the closer spot was very important for Philadelphia to have, they lost both Carlos Estevez and Jeff Hoffman in free agency this winter.

2/01/25 Two-Time World Series Champion Could Be Fit for Philadelphia Phillies Bullpen. The Philadelphia Phillies entered the offseason with two of the top relievers set to hit the market coming from their roster. It was going to be difficult to bring even one of Carlos Estevez or Jeff Hoffman back, but the Phillies wound up losing both of their free agents from a unit which had a solid year, but didn't hold up their end of the bargain in the playoffs. Signing Jordan Romano from the Toronto Blue Jays - ironically where Hoffman ended up - presumably gives Philadelphia a new closer, but a steady stable of setup guys is often the difference in how playoff games can be won and lost.

1/31/25 Royals Loosely Linked To Cardinals $260 Million 10x Gold Glove Winner. The Kansas City Royals made one of their biggest moves of the offseason earlier this week when they signed veteran reliever Carlos Estevez to a two-year, $22 million contract. At long last, they have a late-inning presence to go with Hunter Harvey and Lucas Erceg. Now, all that's left for the Royals to do is to add a bat to their mix. The Royals' offense certainly let them down in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, and adding another threat could get them over the hump.

1/23/25 Cubs listed as 'likely' landing spot for $30 million All-Star closer. The Chicago Cubs bullpen struggled in 2024 and could use some work heading into 2025 if the team wants to improve from last year's third place finish in the National League Central. Fortunately, there are still a few solid relievers available on the free agent market that could help them. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report listed the North Siders as a potential landing spot for right-hander Carlos Estevez, who was an All-Star with the Los Angeles Angels in 2023. "With Tanner Scott off the board to the Dodgers, all eyes turn to Carlos Estévez as the most noteworthy closer still available," Miller wrote.
