Overview

  • The Yankees will only consider trading Spencer Jones for an ace of Paul Skenes’s caliber.
  • Jones has launched 13 home runs in 19 Triple-A games but was sidelined this week by back spasms.
  • Aaron Judge’s flexor strain created a roster opening, yet New York has looked elsewhere for outfield reinforcements.
  • The team added Amed Rosario and Ryan McMahon last week to address lineup deficiencies.
  • Rival general managers are preparing offers for Paul Skenes, increasing pressure on the Pirates to decide by July 31.
