My Take: Yankees Acquire Austin Slater
The details: The Yankees acquire OF Austin Slater from the Chicago White Sox for RHP Gage Ziehl The Yankees have several objectives at the deadline. Improving the lineup was somewhere on that list, especially at third base. However, Brian Cashman wanted to do more than that: namely, improve the offense against left-handed pitching. The first move was […]
Yankees MILB 7/27: Jesus Rodriguez Hits Two 3-Run Homers
Notes: In case you missed them, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction and my analysis of the Amed Rosario transaction. OF Spencer Jones missed his third straight game today (back spasms). With tomorrow’s off-day, he will have four days off going into Tuesday. Injury Log Scranton (59-39; 21-5 in second half) (Defeated Rochester, 8-7. […]
My Take: Yankees Acquire Amed Rosario
The details: The Yankees acquire UTIL Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for RHP Clayton Beeter and OF Browm Martinez. The Yankees aren’t going for “flashy” lineup upgrades at the deadline, but any upgrade is still an update. I was once a big fan of Oswald Peraza‘s. After an encouraging 18-game audition in 2022 (.306/.404/.429), he has crashed and burned to […]
Yankees MILB 7/25: Jesus Rodriguez Extends Hitting Streak
Notes: In case you missed it, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction. A day after hitting 1,200+ feet of home runs, OF Spencer Jones was out of tonight’s lineup due to back spasms. The Yankees are unlikely to mess with this, but as someone who has back spasms, I know how they can come […]
Yankees MILB: Yankees Acquire Ryan McMahon
The details: The Yankees acquire 3B Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for LHP Griffin Herring and RHP Josh Grosz From the moment Spring Training began, third base was seen as the biggest weakness in the lineup. Oswaldo Cabrera stabilized things somewhat by playing average-ish defense and not-so-average-ish offense (.243/.322/.308; 83 wRC+). His performance wasn’t eye-opening. It was also hidden by […]
Yankees MILB 7/24: Spencer Jones Launches 3 Home Runs
Notes: RHP Cade Smith is off the injured list as he pitched for Hudson Valley tonight. Smith was ranked 18th in the recent Pipeline update (again, it wasn’t a full update – but rather a reshuffle for the Trade Deadline). He was drafted in the 6th round in 2023 after spending 2022 and 2023 as the […]
Yankees MILB 7/23: Jesus Rodriguez Extends Hitting Streak
Notes: Pipeline released a new Top 30 list, and Carlos Lagrange has jumped all the way to #2 (behind George Lombard Jr.). He also joined the Top 100. RHP Cam Schlittler is now third while Spencer Jones, despite his incredible hot streak, dropped to 4th. LHP Griffin Herring surged up the list to 8th. Seven of their top ten prospects are pitchers […]
Yankees MILB 7/22: Kyle Carr is Rolling
Notes: Just in time for the trade deadline, LHP Henry Lalane began a rehab assignment in the FCL today. Injury Log Scranton (55-38; 17-4 in second half) (Lost to Rochester, 7-1) LF Everson Pereira: 0-for-4, K CF Spencer Jones: 0-for-3, BB, K He’s human! Jones is now 29-for-71 (.408) since his promotion. C Rafael Flores: 1-for-2, HR (1), RBI, R, […]
