Corona returned by Mariners
ByFollowing up on yesterday’s post, the Yankees officially welcomed Reegie Corona back from the Mariners today. After hitting .281-.311-.386 in 57 at-bats this spring, Corona was assigned to Double-A Trenton, where he played last year. All of the players the Yanks lost in the Rule 5 Draft this year have been accounted for, as Corona, Zack Kroenke and Ivan Nova returned to the Yanks while Jason Jones will remain with the Twins after a trade.
Ah, how nice. Remember when everyone was all like “ZOMG!!1one!11 Teh Yankees got robbed in the Rule Vee draft!!”
So much for that.
They even made, what, 25 grand apiece? Not a bad deal.
And got a much better prospect than Jones.
