Danny Duffy, a former MLB pitcher, has signed with the Piratas de Campeche in Mexico. The 36-year-old left-hander spent 11 seasons with the Royals, making a significant impact in his early years before sustaining injuries, including Tommy John surgery. Duffy had notable moments, such as pitching in the 2015 World Series, but faced challenges with inconsistency and injuries. His signing in Mexico marks a new chapter in his career as he seeks to revive his professional baseball journey after last playing in the big leagues in 2021.
Duffy's first healthy season since his rookie year in 2014 saw success with a 2.53 ERA over 149 1/3 innings, despite a low strikeout rate.
Duffy pitched to a 5.06 ERA during his postseason appearances for the Royals, contributing minimally to their 2015 World Series run.
His five-year, $65 million extension with the Royals in 2016 came after his solid 3.51 ERA season, reflecting the team's faith in his abilities.
Duffy's career, which started with promise, was marked by injuries that hindered his performance and reduced his time on the mound.
