NEWS with @Ken_Rosenthal: Mike Trout is headed to the IL with a hamstring injury, sources tell @TheAthletic.
Brutal news for Trout with ASG upcoming and a comeback season in the works.
Christian Moore is getting the call-up.
"There are more potential changes to the MLB draft system to consider under this new proposal. For example, teams would be allowed to trade draft picks much more freely, as is done in the NFL and NBA drafts. Currently, only competitive balance picks can be traded."
Programming note, Yankees fans: MLB Network will broadcast the Triple-A @swbrailriders game Saturday at 7 p.m. A chance for too-far-away fans to watch some top prospects live, including George Lombard Jr.
IMO, the Yankees are not trading important parts to get a SS when they know Lombard might be ready after the ASG
The need is C and RPs
If a deal that comes up that makes sense with little cost I am sure Cash would be interested, but they are not blowing up the roster for a SS
If you told me what Yankees do at deadline: my guess would be
- Ryan Jeffers or Logan O’hoppe
- Pete Fairbanks
- Kyle Finnegan
- maybe a LHRP like JoJo Romero depending on roster construction
- project unexpected trade.
Good news, @LIDucks fans: Trevor Bauer is nearing 100% and is expected to rejoin the Long Island Ducks during our upcoming June 16-21 homestand. Stay tuned—we’ll be announcing his start date soon. ⚾🦆 @BauerOutage
