Yankees MILB 7/27: Josh Grosz Dominates

News: Nothing to report. Just kidding. The Yankees acquired IF/OF Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins today for three prospects – C/1B Agustin Ramirez, 2B/SS Jared Serna, and IF Abrahan Ramirez. The most significant prospect is Agustin Ramirez, who blossomed into arguably the best Yankees minor league bat over the past two seasons. Between Somerset and Scranton this […]

Yankees MILB 7/20: Pitching Rules!

News RHP Cody Morris cleared waivers and was outrighted to Scranton. With Josh Maciejewski demoted to Scranton, my guess is that Yoendrys Gomez will get the call. That is a guess, but he is rested and conveniently on the 40-man roster. It appears the Yankees are not ready to promote Scott Effross. Scranton (50-42) (Defeated Buffalo, 8-3, in 11 innings) CF […]

Yankees MILB 7/14: George Lombard Jr.: 2 Doubles

News RHP JT Brubaker has an oblique injury, which will temporarily shut down his rehab stint. As for where the system is at the midway point, it is a mixed bag that leans slightly towards disappointment. Some of that is due to injuries. Some of it is because we don’t have Drew Thorpe throwing 7 shutout innings […]

Yankees MILB 7/4: Jorbit Vivas Doubles Twice

News: Happy 4th of July! LHP Henry Lalane made his 2024 debut today. Standing 6’7″, Lalane was born in the Bronx but moved to the Dominican Republic when he was four months old (which is why he was an international signing and not a draftee). What makes him interesting? A kid his size typically has control […]

News: LHP Victor Gonzalez cleared waivers and was outrighted to Scranton. He couldn’t decline the outright. He will serve as depth for the remainder of 2024.
