A look at the prospects the Yankees have traded/lost over the last several years. This list is comprehensive (in my opinion) but likely not complete. So many prospects are lost to minor league free agency or latch on somewhere after the Yankees release them. Impossible to keep up with all of them. The Jameson Taillon deal: RHP […]
Yankees MILB 9/24: The Finale
News: Thanks to everyone for reading. I say it every year: By the time we get to this point, I am ready for a break. Yes, there are fall and winter leagues to follow but I don’t pay as much attention. I certainly do not write full reports. I have a “Where are they now?” […]
Yankees MILB 9/22: Ben Rice: Grand Slam
News: RHP Clayton Beeter is on his way up, while RHP Jake Cousins was placed on the injured list. After returning from his injury, Beeter was exclusively a reliever. Over five games, he posted a 0.00 ERA in 7 innings (2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 12 K). He wasn’t asked to pitch on back-to-back days, though he […]
Yankees MILB 9/21: Oswald Peraza Homers Twice
News: I have nothing. Scranton (88-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 8-5) SS Caleb Durbin: 1-for-4, 2B (22), RS, BB Distribution of starts: 2B (39); 3B (21); SS (12); LF (7); CF (1).

Yankees MILB 9/20: T.J. Rumfield Homers
News: The Yankees activated RHP Cody Poteet from his rehab stint and demoted him to Scranton. To make room on the 40-man roster, RHP Ron Marinaccio was designated for assignment. The 29-year-old Marinaccio was a breakout reliever in 2022. He posted a 2.05 ERA (3.20 FIP) over 44 innings with a 30.9% K, 13.3% BB, 41.5% GB, and 4.7% […]
Yankees MILB 9/19: Ben Rice Homers Again
News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (86-60) (Defeated Buffalo, 4-1. I have been mistaken lately. Like most sane people, I thought divisions mattered in the International League, but they don’t. It’s first-half champion vs. second-half champion in the entire league, even though you don’t get to play everyone. Weird. Divisions d
Yankees MILB 9/18: Will Warren Tosses 5 Strong Innings
News: I have nothing to offer. Scranton (85-60) (Lost to Buffalo, 7-6, in 10 innings. Worcester allowed three runs in the bottom of the 9th to lose, 4-3. Hence, they remain tied with four games left. Scranton holds the tie-breaker (better head-to-head record in the second half)) 2B Caleb Durbin: 0-for-4, BB Durbin is down to […]
Yankees MILB 9/17: Spencer Jones Homers, Collects 3 Hits
News: The Yankees recently released LHP Victor Gonzalez, who was toiling in Triple-A after mediocre results in MLB earlier this season. Seen as a potential Wandy Peralta replacement, Gonzalez was never able to get into a consistent groove. The trade with the Dodgers comes down to how the two prospects (Trey Sweeney (now with Detroit) and Jorbit Viv
Yankees MILB 9/15: Caleb Durbin, Spencer Jones, Roc Riggio: Leadoff Homers
News: Nothing Scranton (84-59) (Defeated Lehigh Valley, 5-4. Worcester won, so the two teams will enter the final week tied for first place in the second-half title chase) SS Caleb Durbin: 1-for-2, HR (10), RBI, 3 RS, SB (28), HBP, BB, K Durbin hits a leadoff home run (the beginning of a trend today?). Durbin’s […]
Yankees MILB 9/14: Ben Rice Homers Twice
News: Nothing Scranton (82-59) (Mauled Lehigh Valley, 10-1. Worcester lost, so the division is tied with seven games to play) SS Caleb Durbin: 2-for-4, SF, RBI, RS, SB (27), K .294/.405/.477 in 340 PA (20 doubles, 2 triples, 9 HR, 56 RBI, 51 R, 27-for-29 SB).
