JC Escarra was out of affiliated baseball for the last 2 years. He was released by Baltimore while planning a wedding & buying a house. He wanted to give up and almost did, but took one last swing in Indy Ball as a catcher. The Yankees like what they saw.

I've seen Tommy take down just about every guy in the Thunder clubhouse. But, he refused to pin Tim Tebow. Instead, he gives his signature John Cena "you can't see me" and a hug .

Covered the Yankees system for a decade now. I can’t recall a time where they’ve so clearly punted in order to keep a spot open for a prospect. They’re clearly banking on Volpe being the guy and from the moment he touches the Bronx, those expectations are going to be enormous.

Yankees should think long and hard about protecting Ron Marinaccio. The 26-year old righty fanned 105 batters in 66.1 IP. Opposition hit just .153 against him. Fastball sits high-90’s with a really good change and a solid slider.
