Overview

  • On July 24 at Innovative Field, Jones belted his first three-homer game in a single contest, boosting his season total to 29 homers through 68 games.
  • Across two levels this year he is slashing .314/.411/.706 with 57 RBIs, 42 walks, 16 stolen bases and no errors in 401⅓ innings in center field.
  • MLB insider Jon Morosi warns that giving up Jones for a two-month rental would be a mistake given his talent and projection as an immediate big-league contributor.
  • New York continues to pursue Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez but has publicly drawn a line preventing Jones from being included despite interest from the Cubs and Mariners.
  • With clubs evaluating rental options, the Yankees are also eyeing controllable targets such as Reds infielder Jonathan India, who carries team control through 2026.
