Passan confirmed this too.

Almora to alt. site as corresponding move?

Cameron Maybin is nothing special with a .1 WAR and 95 wRC+ but when you realize he’s replacing Almora and that’s 2-3 times better than Almora this year (34 wRC+, -.1 WAR) that’s a decent margin upgrade.

I was just about to say the only reason to do this is if you're ditching Almora.

I didn't realize Maybin had a 127 wRC+ in 82 games last year. Maybe some life left in that bat.

He's lucky to have escaped alive.

2005 me is very happy about this one.

But he'll block Felix Pie.

He was one of the Yankees pixie dust guys like Voit and Urshela. Statcast also says he's been unlucky this year. His xwOBA is .361, which for reference is Anthony Rizzo's real wOBA this year.

 

Maybin in is weirdly redundant with Souza though. I wonder if that means Souza's not that close or if Nico might get sent down.

Just send down Almora, why would you send Nico down over him? Almora should be gone as soon as KB is ready at least with Maybin/Martinez taking Perez and Phegley spots.

Just send down Almora

 

That's only one spot though. In terms of roster spots, if KB and Souza are ready to go we're basically looking at this:

 

Phegley -> Martinez

Chatwood -> Osich

Almora -> Maybin

Perez -> KB

??? -> Souza

 

Maybe Souza's not actually that close despite taking ABs at South Bend today. But otherwise it's gotta be Nico or a reliever for Souza.

Winkler/Underwood/Ryan I’d all send down/cut before Nico for Souza if he’s ready soon. Maybe Souza stays down until the playoffs too and he’s only a playoff roster add if he’s looking good/they like a matchup.

Jed said Almora's going to South Bend to make room for Maybin.
