Looking At Jones
Jones is a big time prospect for the Yankees, as he is in the middle of his rookie year.
The 25-year-old was picked in the 1st round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt.
If the Yankees were to make a trade for a star player, they’d likely have to include someone like Jones in a package.
That said, it appears as if Jones is staying in New York for now.
Right now, Jones is batting .237 with 23 hits, five home runs, 13 RBIs, 10 runs and three stolen bases in 39 games.
Looking At The Yankees Right Now
The Yankees come into their series with the Cardinals as the second-place team in the American League East with a 63-49 record in 112 games.
They have gone 6-4 over their last ten games (and are 26-23 in 49 games at home).
