Notes: Trade analysis links: Jose Caballero/Camilo Doval (link) David Bednar/Jake Bird (link) Ryan McMahon (link) Amed Rosario (link) Austin Slater (link) Alexander Vargas, one of the most expensive international players in the system, has been released. The shortstop, who signed for $2.5 million in 2018, struggled to find a groove. In his debut 2019 campaign, he hit a decent .233/.313/.373 […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: If you didn’t enjoy RHP Cam Schlittler‘s MLB debut, it’s time for a new hobby. Like Luis Gil, his ability to overpower hitters stands out. Is he rough around the edges? Of course. His control and command are a work in progress, and he is still refining his secondary pitches (beyond his MLB-ready slider/sweeper). However, throwing […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Bonus baby outfielder Brando Mayea was moved from the 7-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. If he does come back in 2025, it will have to be in Low-A Tampa, as the FCL schedule will run out before he is eligible to come off the list. They can make it retroactive to May 31st. […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Early-season standout Griffin Herring was promoted from Tampa to Hudson Valley. The Yankees went heavy on SEC pitchers in the 2024 draft, and the left-handed Herring was no exception. Out of LSU, the Yankees drafted him in the 6th round and signed him to an overslot bonus (as a draft-eligible sophomore, he had leverage). He was […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: The rumblings about Jesus Rodriguez are starting. I get it – the Yankees have an issue with offense at third base, and Rodriguez can further help balance the lineup. But is he a third baseman? The Yankees have tried various positions with him. A natural catcher, he also has experience at 1B/2B (limited)/3B/LF. MLB Pipeline’s write-up […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: Will the Yankees dodge a bullet with Clarke Schmidt? “Soreness in the side” is scary, but I hope so. The Yankees lack rotation depth. This should not come as a surprise to people who read these reports. The Triple-A rotation consists of prospects Zach Messinger and Sean Boyle, along with veterans Allan Winans, Brandon Leibrandt, Erick Leal, and Jake […]

Minor League Reports, Yankees
Notes: OF Everson Pereira is listed as active but hasn’t played since April 19th. Injuries are a part of Pereira’s story. He has never played in more than 102 games. His second-highest total is 82. You have to be available to be useful. George Lombard Jr. and Roderick Arias left their games early yesterday. Lombard Jr. was back in […]

Notes: RHP Zach Greene, who was on the Development List, is no longer with the organization. The 28-year-old Greene was drafted by the Yankees in the 8th round in the 2019 draft (South Alabama). In December 2022, the Mets selected Greene in the Rule 5 draft. However, he was returned to the Yankees before the […]
