There are two things the Yankees have done a considerable amount of over the past two seasons. First, they’ve traded away fringe 40-man roster players — as to get something of value instead of potentially losing them in the Rule 5 Draft. And second, the organization loves acquiring international bonus pool money.
And so on Monday, general manager Brian Cashman killed two birds with one stone, sending right-handed relief pitcher J.P. Feyereisen to the Milwaukee Brewers for 16-year-old infielder Brenny Escanio plus Int’l bonus money.
Feyereisen, 26, was originally part of the 2016 Andrew Miller trade, coming to New York from Cleveland alongside Clint Frazier, Justus Sheffield and Ben Heller.
