A month after being non-tendered by the Braves, Jace Peterson has found a new home with the Yankees. However, it could only be a temporary one, as Peterson will have an uphill battle to make the 25-man roster out of Spring Training.
Luckily for Peterson, he did play six different positions in 2017 — four infield and both corner outfield spots, so maybe that gives him a better chance of overtaking someone like Tyler Wade, whom the Yankees are hopeful can eventually become their homegrown ‘do it all type.’
Peterson, the former first-round pick of the Padres back in 2011 has never hit the way he was advertised to.
