In July last season, the Yankees were able to find a suitor for the struggling Joey Gallo as they shipped him to the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a one-for-one deal, as the Yankees acquired RHP Clayton Beeter in return, and he immediately took off for the Somerset Patriots.
While command has been an issue he’s battled throughout his tenure in professional baseball, the former top-75 pick has developed as a starter and flashes plenty of upside.
With high-level stuff and plenty of buzz surrounding him ever since being traded to the Bronx, the Yankees are finally giving him a crack at Triple-A with the Scranton RailRiders.
