The Olmecas of Tabasco announced yesterday that they have added a former New York Yankees player to their ranks.
Infielder Luke Voit will join the Mexican Baseball League after being hired by the Tabasco team, who announced it yesterday through a video on their social networks.
At 33 years of age, Voit was released by the Mets on March 25. After injuring his knee, the slugger’s performance dropped significantly so the New York team chose to release him.
However, the Olmecas hope that he can add depth and become a hard-hitting hitter, bringing back the leading home run hitter for the 2022 season with the Bronx team.
The LMB team made room for Voit by announcing the departure of outfielder Billy Hamilton, as well as catcher Logan Brown, with Jacob Nottingham being the second signing of the day.
