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
Yankees MILB 7/26: 3 Hits for George Lombard Jr.
Notes: In case you missed it, here is my article on the Ryan McMahon transaction. As stated yesterday, Hudson Valley has lost a lot of pitching lately. Today, RHP Gage Ziehl was moved up from Tampa. He made his debut during the game. Earlier in the season, he made an emergency start for Somerset. Ziehl was their […]
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+). Hi
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.

Yankees MILB 7/20: Spencer Jones Has Gone Bananas
Notes: According to the Baseball America signing tracker, 8th-round pick Mac Heuer has signed his name on the dotted line. The Yankees have signed all of their picks from the first ten rounds. The 21-year-old right-handed pitcher made 14 starts for Texas Tech in 2025, going 2-4 with a 6.28 ERA in 53 innings with a […]
Yankees MILB 7/19: Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr. Homer
Notes: C/1B Rafael Flores has finally been promoted to Scranton. Given Jesus Rodriguez‘s ability to play third base, there will be plenty of playing time for both. After playing in 162 games for High-A Hudson Valley, Flores played in 152 for Somerset. He hit .281/.351/.505 with 37 doubles, a triple, 30 home runs, 89 RBI, 88 runs, […]
Yankees MILB 7/18: Brendan Beck: 5 Hitless Innings
Notes: In case you missed it (or you want to read it for the 50th time), I wrote up a mid-season review of the Yankees’ system. OF Spencer Jones was missing from tonight’s Scranton lineup. That raises an eyebrow because the Railriders just had four days off. As I said last week, being out of a […]
