Yankees Bolster Depth with Minor League Signings

The New York Yankees have added two experienced players to their minor league system, signing infielder Pablo Reyes and right-hander Cristian Hernandez to minor league deals.

Reyes, a versatile infielder, has bounced around the league in recent years. He had a strong 2021 season with the Boston Red Sox, but struggled to replicate that success in 2022 with the New York Mets' Triple-A affiliate. Known for his defensive prowess, Reyes can play multiple positions on the field.

Hernandez, a 24-year-old right-hander, has spent his entire career in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. He has primarily been a reliever, but he could potentially transition to a swingman role in the future. Hernandez has shown promise in the minor leagues, posting solid numbers in Double-A.

​These signings provide the Yankees with additional depth options for their minor league system. While neither player is expected to make an immediate impact on the major league roster, they could contribute at the Triple-A level or potentially be called up in case of injuries or underperformance.
