Yankees Send Some Players to Minors, Promote Others

The New York Yankees made a flurry of moves following their loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night, one of which was optioning outfielder Jasson Dominguez to Triple-A.

The Yankees made the decision to clear room for newly-acquired outfielder Heliot Ramos, who will be joining the ballclub on Tuesday after coming over at the MLB trade deadline.

While the biggest story of Monday evening was New York also promoting top shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr., the demotion of Dominguez should not go unnoticed.

The former top prospect has fallen on hard times with the Yankees, as he has slashed just .230/.270/.380 over 212 big-league plate appearances this season. We all know about his defensive struggles, but recently, he has even made some base-running errors.

New York chose Spencer Jones over Dominguez this time, largely because Jones can play center field. Dominguez is strictly a corner outfielder, and with the arrival of Ramos, his role has been essentially removed.

Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones, Jeff Kent Inducted into Baseball Hall of Fame

The National Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed Jeff Kent, Andruw Jones and Carlos Beltrán on Sunday in Cooperstown, New York.

The Clark Sports Center was home to more than 60 Hall of Famers. They came to watch the newest members of the Hall hold their plaques and deliver emotional speeches.

Beltrán, who turned down an opportunity to manage the New York Mets this summer, but would love to have the job if offered again, spoke for 30 minutes about what his induction means to him.

He grew up in Puerto Rico, and believed one day that he’d become a professional baseball player, but never, ever, did he imagine that he’d be a Hall of Famer.

Beltrán and Jones are just the third and fourth center fielders elected by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America in nearly half a century. Since Duke Snider went in with the Class of 1980, only Kirby Puckett (2001) and Ken Griffey Jr. (2016) were counted as center fielders elected by the BBWAA until this year.

Kent, who was elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee at the Winter Meetings last December, is the first second baseman to join the Hall since another Astro: Craig Biggio in 2015.
