MLB World Reacts To New York Yankees Roster News
Ahead of Friday’s game, the Yankees announced the news that they had called up Bradley Hanner from Triple-A.
The Yankees wrote (via X): “Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees recalled RHP Bradley Hanner (#93) from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.”
Hanner made his MLB debut earlier this season.
He has gone 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA in three games.
Here’s what people were saying about the news:
@BobbyMilone29: “My guess he is here for a few days until Schmidt is ready”
Chris Kirschner: “Bradley Hanner takes over for Jasson Domínguez, who was demoted last night.”
@MrGamer40037663: “That’s not Clarke Schmidt”
@MatthewShirk11: “Hanner over Yerry is WILD”
@rclorow: “We have 14 active position players. Dominguez fielding was awful, didn’t need Schuemann or Cabrera at the moment. Bullpen addition until Weathers and/or Schmidt return makes the most sense”
@Bri_Dale: “I woulda kept Jasson as a pinch runner if this is the guy who were bringing up”
@LeekNabers: “Sent down Dominguez for Bradley hanner yea Dominguez’s career is over”
@javien114: “Ummm. Ok”
@LombardIsKing_: “I assume when Clarke is ready to come back they just DFA hanner”
@scottbanks24: “Why don’t they bring up someone who’s good at baseball”
