Josh Norris & Mike Ashmore interview Mark Newman
ByA few days after answering questions for NoMaas, Yankees VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman chatted with Double-A Trenton beat writing all-stars Josh Norris and Mike Ashmore. They talked about players coming back from injury (David Adams, Graham Stoneburner, Jeremy Bleich), Corban Joseph’s bat, disciplining Slade Heathcott for the brawl (spoiler: they didn’t), Andrew Brackman, developing pitchers, and lots more. Make sure you heck it out, it’s a must read.



Mark Newman = chatty Cathy.
No kidding. I’m surprised he didn’t invoke his Fifth Amendment rights at any point.
What are your thoughts on Jose Pirela? Prospect or organizational/utility guy?
great interview. Really hope they can get Brackman straightened out. Looks like Bleich has no chance of making it back this year.
I’m surprised we don’t see an Axisa interview with him. All the questions I’d have have already been answered via the Nomaas and Ashmore/Norris, but I’m sure the creative minds that are RAB could still have some fresh questions.
1 question I would have for Mark is the struggles that Phil Hughes has had developing a 3rd pitch… Mike do you know what it is?
