As the Yankees begin to make the trip from Tampa to the Bronx, the front office has one decision left to make. First, it was reported that both reserve outfielders Estevan Florial and Rafael Ortega had made the big league roster while relievers Greg Weissert and Ian Hamilton were sent down to Triple-A. However, a follow-up tweet from Marly Rivera led to further confusion.
Rafael Ortega is also headed up to New York with the team. I spoke to both Ortega and Florial and, while they’re both headed up north with the Yankees, neither has been informed of a final decision.
