The Yankees were right to be patient with Deivi García

There are two ways to evaluate at the news that top Yankees pitching prospect Deivi García has been assigned to Triple-A. It’s either a slight disappointment that he didn't force the issue and build upon his strong 2020 debut, or it’s a luxury that the Yankees can afford to keep him in the minors for a tad longer and let him grow on his own time.

I fall in the latter camp. Although it would have been exciting to see García follow up on his abbreviated rookie campaign, there was no need for the Yankees to rush him ahead of his schedule — especially because he’ll most certainly get his chance to make an impact at some point in the season.
