Overview
- New York acquired All-Star relievers David Bednar from the Pirates and Camilo Doval from the Giants to strengthen high-leverage relief roles
- The front office declined to include Spencer Jones or George Lombard Jr. in offers for Miami’s starter Sandy Alcántara
- Brian Cashman praised Jones for “closing the gap” on his development as he nears a big-league promotion
- Spencer Jones has hit 29 homers in 70 minor-league games and is slashing .402/.461/.920 with 13 long balls in 21 Triple-A contests
- Retaining Jones could open the door for Cody Bellinger to depart in free agency and reshuffle the outfield mix next season
