Yankees Promote WIlliams, Austin, & Sanchez To High A Tampa



The Yankees have promoted outfielder Mason Williams, catcher Gary Sanchez, and RF Tyler Austin to High A Tampa Yankees. Left from the new "core four" is a struggling Dante Bichette Jr who has seen his average come way back down to Earth after a stellar first professional season with the Yankees.

In other news the Yankees promoted  outfielder Rob Segedin, catcher J.R. Murphy, and outfielder Neil Medchill to AA Trenton to make room for these Charleston River Dogs.
