The New York Yankees don’t have a great track record regarding how they treat some of their prospects. Last season, Anthony Volpe and Oswald Peraza were battling for the starting shortstop position, and Volpe won it out of Spring Training, with Peraza starting the year in Triple-A. But now, in 2024, it seems Peraza might not even have a chance to make the roster as a backup infielder, according to quotes by manager Aaron Boone in an article in The Athletic (linked below). Stacey and Steve discuss the Peraza problem, which is self-inflicted not by the player but by management. Then, Nestor Cortes had his first outing of Spring and felt good afterward. It seems he revealed something about how bad his condition was last season in an interview with Meredith Marakovitz of the YES Network. Stacey and Steve talk about the revelation and discuss Nestor’s outing. And finally, Stacey and Steve talk about Trent Grisham, the forgotten man in the Juan Soto trade. He also talked to Meredith Marakovitz of YES and explained how he’s happy to be with the Yankees and how he understands and accepts his role on the team.
