Brian Cashman may have just reeled in his latest monster catch.
Roderick Arias, the top international free agent of the 2021 class, was recently spotted working out wearing a Yankee cap. Fangraphs calls him “the consensus top prospect” in the 2021 class. The switch hitting shortstop is said to be a five tool stud with a current player comparison of Francisco Lindor.
In terms of recent prospects, he has been called the best prospect since Wander Franco. While nothing is official, the photo of him in the Yankee cap is obviously a big deal. Remember, Jasson Dominguez was wearing Yankee gear long before he signed on the dotted line.
