Recapping the Yankees’ minor league affiliates’ results from July 17th. Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 8-6 vs. Louisville Bats CF Estevan
The Red Sox lost two players on waivers to two different teams on Saturday. Recently designted outfielder Jeisson Rosario was claimed by the division rival Yankees, while recently designated right-hander Kyle Tyler was claimed by the Padres.
The Red Sox have officially signed free-agent infielder Trevor Story to a six-year contract, the club announced on Wednesday morning. In order to make room for Story on the 40-man roster, outfielder Jeisson Rosario was designated for assignment.
Exactly 14 months ago Saturday, the Red Sox traded veteran first baseman Mitch Moreland to the Padres in exchange for a pair of prospects in Hudson Potts and Jeisson Rosario.
Boston has been vocal about no player being untouchable in trade discussions, and the Moreland trade likely marks the first of a few bigger moves coming from the Red Sox organization.
