Done Deal: Yankees putting major stock in these three prospects
In recent weeks, Hal Steinbrenner’s desk has received more prospective movements as general manager Brian Cashman continues to scour the talent market for more players. Cashman has stated that by no means does he see himself as “pencils down.” The Yankees have been busy saying no thus far, but pitching has been the main focus. This is due to the fact that Cashman is still questioned about the team’s best prospects, which include Spencer Jones, a right-hander, Will Warren, and Chase Hampton, a righty. Everyone seemed to desire players like Warren and Hampton in a lot of the other moves we looked at there, according to Steinbrenner. “I simply couldn’t bear to part with them.” Jones came off the bench to smash a 470-foot pinch-hit home run on Saturday during the Yankees’ spring training game against the Tigers in Lakeland, Florida, showcasing a peek of his potential. Jones went 3-for-3 with four RBIs and a hit-by-pitch at the game’s conclusion. Jones stated, “I simply want to play baseball and do what I do.” “Play the outfield, run quickly, and hit the ball hard.” I’ll just keep doing it every day, and whatever happens, happens.
