Yankees MILB 3/27: Brendan Beck Ks 9
Top 30 Prospects Notes: The Yankees have signed RHP Luis Garcia to a 2-year minor league contract. The contract is for two years because he will miss the entire 2026 campaign due to his second Tommy John procedure. Garcia was, at one time, a promising young arm for the Astros. In 2021 and 2022, he made 58 […]

The Yankees’ minor league season begins tomorrow afternoon, as Scranton makes a trip to Buffalo. As always, I will do daily minor league reports. Like 2025, it’s going to be comprehensive but casual, as I think that approach works best. State of the system: Over the last several years, the Yankees’ system strength has been […]

1. The Yankees trade Jorbit Vivas to the Nationals for RHP Sean Paul Linan I hope Jerry doesn’t insult the wake-up guy at the front desk. Perhaps that’s an obscure Seinfeld joke, and Sean Paul doesn’t spell his name the same way as the fictional marathon runner. Vivas was acquired along with failed LHP Victor Gonzalez from […]

1. The Yankees sign OF Randal Grichuk to a minor league deal. While he is a non-roster invitee, it is fair to consider Grichuk a favorite to make the MLB roster out of Spring Training. After a solid 2024 campaign in Arizona (.291/.348/.528 (139 OPS+) in 279 plate appearances), Grichuk crashed hard in 2025. Playing […]

Prospect Rankings Chart 1. The Yankees re-sign Paul Goldschmidt to a 1-year contract This is lunacy. This is stupidity. This is lazy. This is absurd. This is pointless. This is borderline criminal. What are the Yankees thinking? Goldschmidt plays one position, a position the Yankees have tried to convince us is in good hands with Ben […]

One of my favorite posts every year is an analysis of the non-roster invitees to spring training. The odds that one of these players will make the team are low, but it’s happened many times before. As a reminder, anyone on the 40-man roster is automatically invited and is not considered “non-roster.” Hence, Elmer Rodriguez and […]
