Yankees refuse to give former No. 1 prospect another chance

As the New York Yankees battle through an offensive slump, some are questioning whether the team should consider leveraging its rich pool of minor league talent, particularly former No. 1 prospect Estevan Florial, who is currently enjoying a productive spell in Triple-A.

The Overlooked Talent: Estevan Florial

Despite Florial’s 21 homers at the Triple-A level, he seems to be increasingly overlooked in favor of players like Franchy Cordero.
