Yankees Bet on Kelenic’s Power | New York Yankees News

The Yankees just snagged former top prospect Jarred Kelenic on a minor league deal, sending him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre while they’re in the thick of their Red Sox series. After being outrighted by Texas and bouncing between teams—including a rough rookie stint with Seattle and underwhelming stats elsewhere—Kelenic’s big league hype hasn’t matched his reality. But his Triple-A numbers this year? Explosive: over .300 with serious power. Once drafted sixth overall by the Mets and traded in a blockbuster deal that sent Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano to NY, Kelenic’s still got flashes—and the Yankees are betting he can rediscover his swing at the highest level.
