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 7/26: 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.

Yankees MILB 7/13: Carlos Lagrange: 5 Hitless Innings

Notes: RHP Luis Gil made his first rehab appearance today for Somerset. The draft is tonight. The Yankees, along with the Dodgers and Mets, were penalized for having the audacity to improve their roster and had their draft position dropped ten slots. They will pick 39th. Recent history suggests that the Yankees will likely select someone […]

Yankees MILB 7/1: Engelth Urena Homers

Notes: C/UTIL Anthony Seigler, the Yankees’ first-round pick in 2018, has earned his union card.

In 2024, he stopped catching […]

Yankees MILB 6/19: Carlos Lagrange Strikes Out 12

Notes: C Antonio Gomez was placed on the Development List for Somerset. Normally, I don’t care much about that list, but Gomez jumps out because he was, at one time, one of the top catching prospects in the system. Gomez’s bat has stalled. This season, he is hitting .140/.225/.168 (26 wRC+) in 121 plate appearances for […]
