January was a busy month for Brian Cashman and the Yankees. Multiple trades and free agent signings created turnover on the 40-man roster. With the additions to the major league roster, the Yankees have also subtracted from their prospect pool, moving on from four of the organizations top prospects ranked by MLB.com’s. Lets take a look at the new additions to the Yankees’ prospect list, and see where they are on their path to the Bronx.
With the loss of four ranked players, MLB Pipeline had to bump up four other talents. Several of these players have been ranked on the Yankees’ top prospect list in the past. Glenn Otto is one of those who was on the Yankees rankings prior to a blood clot in his pitching shoulder. Otto worked as a closer for Rice University in college, but his 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame had the Yankees envisioning a starter after they took him in the fifth round of the 2017 draft.
