MLB trade deadline: Teams soured on prized Yankees prospect in trade ….
During the MLB trade deadline, the New York Yankees were looking to strengthen their pitching staff. The Yankees ultimately selected bullpen arms Mark Leiter Jr. and Enyel De Los Santos, despite whispers about Jack Flaherty. Enraged, the fans said that their starting rotation and bullpen required major upgrades in order to win the World Series. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, there were talks about a trade for Spencer Jones, but teams weren’t interested in him.
Due to Spencer Jones’ troubles this season, the Yankees were hesitant to include the highly sought-after outfield prospect in exchange for pitching help before the deadline, according to multiple teams, according to Nightengale.Jones is presently playing with AA Somerset and is the second-ranked prospect in the Yankees organization. With a career-low.246 batting average, he is enjoying the poorest season of his professional career. Even though Jones is only 23 years old, teams are starting to recognize his potential. There is not much of a road for Jones to reach the major leagues because Juan Soto and Aaron Judge might be the Bronx’s outfield anchors for the next ten years. The Yankees’ top prospect, Jasson Dominguez, is expected to start in left field during spring training.
The Yankees’ executive staff should make another significant transaction to bolster their squad if they do not win the World Series this year. They need to strengthen their bullpen and starting pitching, and Garrett Crochet might be a fantastic choice for the beginning position. Due to his demands for his new team, the White Sox lefty was not dealt at the deadline. It is not a bad idea for the Yankees to offer Crochet a new contract. Nestor Cortes and Carlos Rodon are having a lot of trouble, so having another left-handed starter would be really beneficial. This offseason, Luis Robert Jr. will probably be traded by the White Sox, who may use him as a replacement in the outfield. Although Jones would need to be involved more, the package would be a valuable addition to the White Sox roster.
