Jos\u00e9 Ure\u00f1a had a record-setting year in 2025, and that included a week with the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n
Ure\u00f1a not only joined the Buddy Kennedy club, playing for both World Series teams \u2014 the Dodgers and Blue Jays \u2014 but the veteran pitcher tied a major league record by pitching for five teams in 2025. Only three players in National League\/American League history have played for five teams in one season<\/a>, and all are pitchers, a byproduct of the modern trend of teams churning through pitchers at a rapid rate.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Oliver Drake was the modern trendsetter with his five-team 2018, and Mike Baumann in 2024 did the same. Outfielder Bobo Leonard also played for five teams in the Negro Leagues in 1924.<\/p>\n Ure\u00f1a\u2019s first stop of 2025 was with the Mets, for whom he had a perfect stint in my opinion \u2014 one appearance on April 28, allowing five runs while recording a three-inning save. Then came seven games in May for the Blue Jays.<\/p>\n The Dodgers signed Ure\u00f1a on June 3<\/a>, capping a six-day stretch that also saw the Dodgers trade for relievers Alexis D\u00edaz and Will Klein. Ure\u00f1a pitched that night, entering a tie game in the ninth, and got two outs but also allowed a double, which was stranded after he left.<\/p>\n Two days later, Ure\u00f1a got seven outs while allowing a run in another game against the Mets. The Dodgers won both of his appearances 6-5, including June 5, the only game of the Dodgers season in which the score matched the date.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n
