Oswald Peraza wasn’t a name most New York Yankees fans really knew heading into 2021.
This is strange, especially considering Peraza is the team’s No. 4 prospect. The Yankees’ infield is also pretty crowded at the moment, especially up the middle. DJ LeMahieu can play multiple positions, but also signed a six-year extension last offseason. Gleyber Torres isn’t the best fielder, but his hitting tools are enough to keep him around.
Well, at least that was the story heading into the season. We’re past mid-may and Oswald Peraza is heating up in the minors.
It may not seem like it, but this could mean Gleyber Torres is officially on notice.
