The Yankees claim CJ Alexander – MLB Trade Rumors

Yankees and athletics each announced that the inner field player CJ Alexander heads for New York for a claim for derogation. The Alexander appointed to assign three days ago.

Alexander was optionized at the Triple-A affiliate of the Yankees, where he will act as a left-threshing depth option with several positions. Most of Alexander’s professional experience has occurred to the third goal, which is notable given the way in which the hot corner has often been considered a weak link in the New York Sterling range. Jazz Chisholm Jr. Is the position locked for the moment since DJ Lemahieu is deployed to the second goal, and it is possible that the field situation can be resolved if Lemahieu can resume one of his old form on the plate.

Oswald Peraza And Pablo Reyes are ahead of Alexander on the painting of the depths of the big league in terms of rescue infielders, so Alexander may have trouble cracking the list of Yankees. Alexander, 28 years old, can also play the positions of the first base and the two runners on the outside field, and he is a left -handed striker (Peraza, Reyes and Lemahieu were sworn on the right side).

A choice of 20th round for the brave in the 2018 draft, Alexander reached the show with the Royals in 2024 and participated in another handful of matches with the A this year. The short delay of Alexander in the majors has only led to four strokes in 25 appearances (for a .320 OPS), but he struck well in Triple-A, with a .264 / .330 / .502 Slash Line and 42 home circuits to show for 908 PA in career at the upper level of the minor league.
