What branch of the service? Often the second base. Which one is that?… The Chair Force |

Both Durbin and Gomez are Rule 5 eligible this year and as of yet neither has been added to the 40 man roster. With all the FAs we have there are currently 5 open spots. I anticipate Durbin will be added before the draft. It will be interesting to see how Gomez is handled as we already have 4 catchers on the 40 man roster. Perhaps they see him with more upside than one of the others but I'm not sure if we would carry 5. |

Plus one could be promoted to MLB… |

He is listed as arbitration eligible and I can't remember how that works or if there is an escape clause that the Yankees can execute. Anyone know? I thought players who weren't offered arbitration became FAs. I'm not sure how healthy Trevino is or how the Yankees feel about him. Guessing at this point of the season, backup C is pretty low on the list of priorites. |

Guessing at this point of the season, backup C is pretty low on the list of priorites. You gotta go to law school to be a baseball fan these days. Under the CBA Trevino is eligible to file for for salary arbitration as a player with more than 3 and fewer than 6 years of service time. The Yankees could release him and he'd be free to find a deal with any other team. Or they can agree to go through the proess. The rules are spelled out in the CBA. Lots of times players file for arbitration but agree to a deal before the hearing. |

Guessing at this point of the season, backup C is pretty low on the list of priorites. Think he has one last year of arbitration left. So they have a period of time where they could negotiate a deal with him, non-tender him, or offer arbitration. Looks like the deadline to offer arbitration is somewhere around January 11. |

Thanks guys, thought I read his arbitration number was around $3mm. I'm not sure how the Yankees are feeling about him and I think some of that has to do with his shoulder issues and not throwing well. I would guess if they feel the shoulder will improve during the offseason they will consider him as a viable backup, if not they might let him walk.
I was confusing the activity around club options in which we let so many players become FAs with arbitration but realize they are different things.

This off season, it is about Caleb Durbin. Yankees could look to underrated in-house prospects to compete at second base empiresportsmedia.com/new-york-yankees/yankees-could-look-to-underrated-in-house-prospect-to-compete-at-second-base/Yankees’ Potential In-House Replacement: Caleb Durbin Cashman has mentioned exploring several supplementary options in preparation for Torres’ potential departure. One promising candidate is 24-year-old prospect Caleb Durbin, who excelled in Triple-A last year and is currently making waves in the Arizona Fall League. Durbin is a strong defender at second base and posted an impressive 9.9% strikeout rate in 2024. Additionally, he is an elite base runner, offering the Yankees a better defensive presence, superior base-stealing ability, and disciplined hitting. While Durbin may not hit 20 home runs per season, he excels at putting the ball in play and creating scoring opportunities. He recorded a nearly 40% on-base rate in Triple-A, and if he can maintain an on-base percentage around 34% in the majors, he could become a valuable asset from day one. Durbin appears to be the front-runner unless the Yankees opt to sign a veteran free agent—a scenario that seems unlikely given the financial demands of a potential Juan Soto extension. An Underrated Contender: Jorbit Vivas Another intriguing option is 23-year-old left-handed batter Jorbit Vivas, who is currently developing in the Yankees’ farm system. Acquired from the Dodgers last year, Vivas played 93 games with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, hitting .225/.347/.366 with nine home runs, 45 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases. While his numbers may not stand out, Vivas battled through several injuries that impacted his consistency. Vivas impressed during spring training last year and will likely be given another chance to compete with Durbin for the starting second base job. The Yankees may ultimately ride with whichever player demonstrates the best performance, though Durbin appears to have the edge due to the organization’s strong support. However, Vivas’ power potential and versatility in the infield make him a viable contender if given a fair opportunity. |

He's never had more strikeouts in a season than walks in any season. College and Pro. His professional K rate is 9.1%. He's a good fielder and is about to set a season AFL stolen base record as he stole his 23rd base this afternoon. He already owns the lifetime AFL SB record. He is made to leadoff. |

Could be the reason we aren't showing a lot of interest in Gleyber, maybe they are serious about giving him a shot. |

What's the disconnect with Durbin's production and his prospect rankings? Certainly we've seen guys who are good and productive ball players get downgraded because of the lack of "tools" but they don't get typically get ignored ENTIRELY like Durbin has been.

Sorry I'm late, I've had Wifi problems today and screaming headache. Caleb Durbin singles in 4 trips, with a walk, one run scored and his 23rd stolen base. Garrett Martin takes the collar in four AB's, but does score a run and K's one time. Antonio Gomez has goes hitless in 3 AB's, but does draw a walk. He also gunned down 2 out of 3 would be basestealers. Jackson Fristoe continues his learning experience and gives up 2 ER's in 3.1 relief innings. He surrenders 2 hits, 2 BB's and K's 1. His AFL ERA stands at 9.31. www.mlb.com/gameday/rafters-vs-javelinas/2024/11/07/787592/final/box |
