Even though there wasn’t Major League baseball yesterday, there were still happenings for the New York Yankees minor league teams. Let’s take a look.
First of all, the Yankees finally came to terms with first round pick James Kaprielian. The Yankees went over slot to get him, but the Yankees had to get it done by Friday.
1st-rder James Kaprielian, @Yankees agree to $2.65 mil bonus, pending physical. Slot at 16 = $2,543,300. @MLBDraft
