The New York Yankees' top pitching prospect is healthy for the first time all season. Could he be a trade candidate at the deadline in an all-in year?
top pitching prospect Chase Hampton made his first minor league rehab start in rookie ball on July 1. The young righty starter went 1.1 innings while allowing one run in what was his first live game action of the minor league season.Gary Phillips of The New York Daily NewsHampton posted a 3.63 ERA last season between High-A and Double-A across 20 starts. He is expected to rejoin Double-A Somerset’s rotation at the end of his rehab assignment.
After GM Brian Cashman traded the organization’s former top pitching prospect Drew Thorpe as the center piece in the Juan Soto blockbuster deal with the San Diego Padres in the offseason, the Yankees are a bit thin on high-ranking minor league starters. That said, this is an all-in year for the Yankees with Soto set to become a free agent after the season, so Hampton could be the next to go if the team makes a big move at the July 30 trade deadline.
