Leibrandt signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Friday. Leibrandt elected free agency after being dropped from Cincinnati's 40-man roster in October, and he'll now join the Yankees organization to help fill out the roster at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 31-year-old southpaw put up a 4.41 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 87.2 minor-league innings last season across 18 starts.

Leibrandt elected free agency Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Leibrandt cleared waivers after the Reds designated him for assignment earlier this week, but because he's been outrighted previously, he had the option to elect free agency. The lefty allowed seven runs over 6.1 innings for Cincinnati in 2024 during his first stint in the majors since 2020.

The Reds designated Leibrandt for assignment Monday. It's a procedural move designed to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Leibrandt had been set to become a free agent following the World Series.

The Reds recalled Leibrandt from Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday. He'll provide length in the bullpen after the Reds' relief corps needed to cover 7.2 innings in Tuesday's win over Atlanta upon Brandon Williamson's exit due to an elbow injury. Leibrandt had one scoreless relief appearance for the Reds last month.
