News & Notes
- Oswald Peraza has not been traded. He was scratched from Somerset’s lineup due to a personal family matter per Eli Fishman on Twitter
- The Athletic’s Keith Law was in Somerset this weekend to watch the Patriots and he has notes on Hayden Wesneski, Oswald Peraza, and Dermis Garcia. It’s behind a paywall, so here’s the skinny: Wesneski has reliever risk, Peraza has strong hands and power, and Garcia remains as committed to three true outcomes as anyone.

That swing by Park, does it look like Ichiro’s swing? Park will play somewhere at the major league level. He won’t be Icbiro but I do expect he will have a useful career. If the Yankees were smart it would be on their team. Lose Wade, Odor or both. Take your pick.
