The New York Yankees pressed the trade button.
According to MLB.COM, the official website of MLB on the 28th (Korea time), the Yankees gave up three promising players to the Miami Marlins and made a trade to receive outfielder Jazz Chisome Jr. (26). Chisome Jr. has a batting average of 0.249 (96 hits in 386 times at bat) in 101 games this season, 13 homers and 50 RBIs. His OPS, which combines the on-base percentage (0.323) and the slugging percentage (0.407), is 0.730.
Though his batting performance is not remarkable, his strength is his versatility to serve as both a second baseman and an outfielder. After Giancarlo Stanton was injured, the Yankees were highly dependent on Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, the “outdoor duo.” The speedy Chisome Jr. is expected to add vitality to the team’s mobility (29th in stolen bases by the Yankees). “He is very talented, has excellent athletic ability, speed, and power. He is versatile and can all be seen from afar,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
The promising players who gave up on the Yankees are Minor League Triple-A catcher Augustine Ramirez, infielder Jared Serna (top single-A) and Avrahan Ramirez (rookie league). The most eye-catching player is catcher Ramirez. Ramirez from the Dominican Republic played a batting average of 0.290 with 16 homers and 49 RBIs in this year’s Minor League Double-A before making his way to Triple-A. He ranked 20th in the 2024 Yankees’ promising players list selected by MLB.COM. Mexican Serna is a utility player who can handle the infield position with a batting average of 0.253 with 13 homers and 58 RBIs in this year’s top Minor League Single-A.
Meanwhile, the Yankees recorded 60 wins and 45 losses, trailing the Baltimore Orioles (61 wins and 43 losses), the world’s second-leading team in the American League East, by 1.5 games. As the No. 1 ranking in the AL wild card rankings, the Yankees are highly likely to advance to the fall baseball league 스포츠토토. The U.S. sports channel ESPN predicted that the Yankees are scouring the market to recruit bullpen pitchers. This will not be the last time he has recruited them.
