Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) SS Jackson Lovich isn’t in Scranton after all. My “gut” was telling me that it was a weird assignment, but I also know teams sometimes move players to advanced levels if they have an emergency need. Anyway, erase that from […]

Yankees MILB 8/16: George Lombard Jr.: 3 Hits

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) 16th round pick Jackson Lovich, a 21-year-old jack-of-all-trades out of the University of Missouri, was assigned to Scranton.  I can’t think of the last prospect who was initially assigned to Triple-A (technically, Lovich started on the FCL roster, but he […]

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) Alexander Vargas, one of the most expensive international players in the system, has been released. The shortstop, who signed for $2.5 million in 2018, struggled to find a groove. In his debut 2019 campaign, he hit a decent .233/.313/.373 […]

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) The Yankees were lacking catching depth after the trade deadline. They added to it today by signing Rob Brantly to a minor league contract. The 36-year-old has 140 games of MLB experience (including seven with the Yankees), hitting .226/.286/.323 with seven […]

Yankees MILB 8/10: Spencer Jones Hits #30

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) My concern about J.C. Escarra being pulled last night? I should have been more concerned about Amed Rosario not being in the lineup against a left-handed pitcher yesterday. It’s too bad that the Yankees finally cared about adding some bench pieces to […]

Yankees MILB 8/9: Stiven Marinez is Rolling

Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) RHP Luis Serna, who hadn’t pitched since July 31, 2024, finally made it back to the hill today.
