ANAHEIM, Calif. — When the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers faced off in the World Series last October, current Yankees pitcher Ryan Yarbrough was at home as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays.
Yet when the Yankees visit Dodger Stadium for a rematch of last year’s Fall Classic this weekend, Yarbrough will be the lone player in the visitor’s clubhouse in possession of a World Series ring from the 2024 season.

A Dodgers team official told The Athletic the plan is to get a ring to Yarbrough, who wasn’t on Los Angeles’ roster when it beat the Yankees in five intense games, but did pitch in 32 regular-season games for the club before he was traded on deadline day last July.
Yarbrough said he thought he was going to receive it “at some point” over the weekend though he wasn’t sure how the exchange would happen.
“I know they had reached out and said, ‘Hey, we’re planning to give it to you at some point, is that cool?’” the left-hander said in the clubhouse at Angel Stadium before the Yankees’ 3-2 win Tuesday. “I was like, ‘Yeah, no, I will get it from you guys when I’m out there.”
Yarbrough said his plan once he gets the ring is to “stash that thing away.”
“It’s cool to be a part of that, but this (the ring) isn’t more important,” he said. “Take a look at it real quick, and then put that thing away real fast.”
The Dodgers traded Yarbrough to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for outfielder Kevin Kiermaier and cash just before the 6 p.m. ET cutoff last July 30, just a day after Los Angeles designated him for assignment. At the time, he had a 3.74 ERA in 67 1/3 innings, all in relief.
The Yankees signed Yarbrough three days before Opening Day after Toronto released him. He’s been excellent so far, going 2-0 with a 3.06 ERA in 12 games (four starts).

Yarbrough said he tuned in “for a little bit” of the World Series last year and that it was “a little strange” to watch.
“Only from the fact that I was with those guys and I was really happy for them from being a part of that team and everything we had done,” he said. “But it was also a little bittersweet since I got moved away at the deadline. So it was a little strange that way. But just being with those guys earlier in the year, you play with those guys and you know how hard they work, just like everyone I’m assuming was here.”

Yarbrough said he was “happy for them at the end” but acknowledged “it’s a little weird saying that now, being a part of” the Yankees.
He said he had “a lot of mixed emotions,” too, during the World Series.
“It was just weird being a part of it, and then watching them going through all of that from the outside looking in,” he said. “It’s tough how to gauge all of that.”
Yarbrough said “it was a shock” when the Dodgers traded him.
“It definitely kind of caught me off guard but you understand kind of the business aspect of it,” he said. “I know it wasn’t an easy thing — from everyone that I heard from (with the Dodgers) after the fact. But it worked out because when I went to Toronto, I made some adjustments. Got into a good place from that. Career-wise — it was just a little strange. It definitely caught us off guard. It wasn’t something that we thought could happen.”
The Dodgers gave Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty his World Series ring on the field at Dodger Stadium on March 30. Flaherty made two appearances for the Dodgers in the World Series, including starting the deciding Game 5. Flaherty agreed to a two-year, $35-million deal with the Tigers in the offseason.
