DotF: Nestor Cortes continues dominant winter ball stint

The Arizona Fall League season ended two weeks ago but there are still plenty other winter league seasons going on around the globe. Here are some notes before we get to the player updates:

  • A trade! Late last week the Yankees sent RHP Jordan Foley to the Rockies for RHP Jefry Valdez, the team announced. “(Valdez is) a really loose, wiry 6-foot-1 with a good arm action. He has been 92-94 with an above-average curveball in my looks. I like him as a late-blooming relief candidate,” wrote Eric Longenhagen. Seems like the Yankees traded Foley for a two-years-younger version of Foley.
