Yankees MILB 6/25: Trey Sweeney’s Big Day
News: I wrote briefly about the Yankees potentially blowing up the draft this year yesterday. As for the draft itself, it all begins on July 9th. I question a lot of things that MLB does, but I think they did the right thing when they moved the draft to be part of the All-Star Game […]

News: C Ben Rortvedt‘s stint on the IL didn’t last long as he was in the Scranton lineup tonight. The Railriders are now carrying four catchers (Rortvedt, Rodolfo Duran, Carlos Narvaez, and Josh Breaux).

News: RHP Brendan Beck will start his journey in Hudson Valley. He made only one rehab appearance for the FCL before this assignment. Drafted by the Yankees in the second round of the 2021 draft, Beck underwent Tommy John surgery soon thereafter. Before the injury, he was considered a “quick rise” type of prospect. Just like […]
