One of the Yankees' minor league affiliates is having some fun at the Houston Astros' expense.
On Tuesday, the Staten Island Yankees, the short-season Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees, announced that they are planning to give away mini trash cans to the first 500 fans that attend their Sept. 3 game against the Tri-City Valley Cats, the equivalent minor league franchise affiliated with the Houston Astros.
The news of their promotion comes just one day after MLB issued historic suspensions to both AJ Hinch and Jeff Luhnow, the manager and GM of the Astros who were fired just hours after the suspensions were announced.
