Spencer Jones is heating up — and the New York Yankees might not want to let go. Since his June 27 promotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jones has hit 10 home runs, driven in 20 RBI and is hitting .418 across 16 games. The former first-round pick has added a 1.399 OPS to that resume, injecting serious noise into his once-quiet prospect stock and rewriting his trade deadline narrative in the process. New York has been connected to targets like Eugenio Suárez of the Arizona Diamondbacks and pitcher Mitch Keller of the Pittsburgh Pirates, each of whom would demand notable prospect capital.
