New York Yankees Already Feeling the Heat From Spencer Jones

โ€ขYahoo Sports

The New York Yankees are already facing some pressure when it comes to Spencer Jones.

New York Yankees outfielder Spencer Jones tore the cover off the ball in Spring Training, hitting . 357 while smashing six home runs and posting a 1. 526 OPS.

His reward? A demotion to Triple-A. Jones' demotion was hardly surprising.

The Yankees' outfield is already full with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger at the corners and Trent Grisham in center. But New York is certainly feeling the hit when it comes to the towering 6-foot-7 prospect. Jones has already homered in the minor leagues this season and will almost surely put together another spectacular power display in 2026 after hammering 35 long balls a year ago.

The problem is that there is no room for him on the big-league roster. At least not right now. Judge and Bellinger aren't going anywhere.
