According to Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal, scouts for the Oakland A’s were in Charleston, South Carolina on Monday night to vet some of the exciting young talent playing for the Yankees Single-A team.
For those unfamiliar with the faces plying their trade for the RiverDogs — the brightest names include 2016 first round draft pick Blake Rutherford, 19-year-old outfielder Estevan Florial, infielder Hu Jun Park and right-handed pitcher Freicer Perez.
A blockbuster trade centered around Gray and Alonso would certainly cost the Yankees a handful of these guys. Though many believe potential 5-tool player Blake Rutherford is untouchable, it will be interesting to see if general manager Brian Cashman feels the same.
