Yankees MILB 6/25: Trey Sweeney’s Big Day

News: I wrote briefly about the Yankees potentially blowing up the draft this year yesterday. As for the draft itself, it all begins on July 9th. I question a lot of things that MLB does, but I think they did the right thing when they moved the draft to be part of the All-Star Game […]

Yankees MILB 6/11: Drew Thorpe Ks 12

News: As a follow-up to yesterday’s note on Oswald Peraza, it appears he is out of action due to illness. He isn’t hurt. He hasn’t been traded.

Yankees MILB 6/4: Drew Thorpe Dominates

News: While not minor league news, the Guardians have designated RHP Zach Plesac for assignment. The question is: Assuming he falls to the Yankees (not guaranteed), is there room for him?
