Yankees Rumors: Cuban Infielder Yoan Moncada Has Private Workout For New York

Cuban infielder Yoan Moncada is in the process of conducting private workouts for teams, even though he hasn't been clear to sign with a team yet. One of the teams that have already held a private workout for Moncada is the New York Yankees.

New  York is one of the frontrunners to sign Moncada, though the MLB won’t let him sign until he receives a specific unblocking license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).

Moncada, is a  19-year-old switch-hitter who will play second or third base, and become the Yankees’ top prospect if he ended up signing with them.

The Giants have also held a private workout with Moncada, but the Yankees are the favorite to land him.
