I see Silverlake/Endeavor is buying up Milb teams...Should be interesting how they market these teams and where this might go. Maybe bring back some of the teams that were debunked? They have had success with the UFC. I do recall this happening a few years ago when Mandelay bought the SI Yankees and other teams. The thing that is different with this to me is Endeavor also is part owner of Fanatic's.

Yea, Sorry to see that. He was a bit of a late bloomer but looked good last year. Good OF as well. Best move for him though.

The Reds sign Trey Amburgey, a 13th-round pick by the Yankees in 2015. He was a minor league free agent.

Latest word it is postponed "indefinitely."

I would be surprised if the draft was completely cancelled this year. I think that some of the players would have grounds for a grievance. It would be a really crappy thing to do to force players into another year of control, if they are eligible to get put into a 40 man spot.

does this negate or affect the 40-man roster moves theYanks recently made in preparation for the rule 5 draft?

The major league portion of the Rule 5 draft will not take place this year as a result of the lockout, . It is the first time since 1920 that there will be no major league portion of the Rule 5 draft. The Triple-A portion of the Rule 5 draft will still take place as scheduled.

Yanks signed Jose Peraza SS From the Mets system...UTY insurance.

Do they mean #5 prospect in Yanks system or #5 in rotation starter?

They rated him 4th in the Category of being scaled due to Analytics. Not the 4th best in any Yankee category.. Not 5th sorry.

BA's Data Darlings list Randy Vasquez as #5 ...They say his curve is elite due to his spin rate and shape. They also talk about his working it with his FB 93-94 accounting for a lot of swing and misses.

My guess is he'll be @ Somerset in 2022?

Yanks sure do seem to like international signees of RH pitchers that are about 6'0' or 6'1" and about 170 lbs. (German, Gil, Medina, probably more)

Yea i would say AA and if any good will fast track him...Will be R5 next season...Doesn't blow you away but has a real good curve..You're right the Yanks have done well with smaller IFA signings.
