Spencer Jones has done everything needed to earn a major league call-up this year. After starting the year in Double-A, the towering prospect earned a promotion to Triple-A, where he’s hit .360 and mashed 13 home runs in just 25 games.
And while the Yankees could have used that uptick in production to flip him for an established big leaguer at the trade deadline, the team instead chose to hold onto Jones in the hopes that he can be the next big thing in the outfield.
At this point, it seems like it’s just a matter of time until we get a chance to see him don the pinstripes for the first time.
