Los Yankees de New York They added young talent and power to their organization by claiming the Cuban outfielder on waivers Yanquiel Fernandezas reported this Wednesday by journalist Francys Romero.
According to the insider in his social networksFernández, 23 years old, debuted in the Big Leagues during the 2025 season with the Colorado Rockies, and Despite his offensive projection, he was surprisingly removed from the 40-man roster last weekwhich opened the door for the Yankees to act quickly.
The Cuban-born outfielder is considered by several scouts as a hitter with real potential to hit 20 home runs per season in MLBprovided he continues his development and receives consistent opportunities at the highest level.
New York’s bet fits with its recent strategy of identifying young talent with power, especially in players who have not yet reached their ceiling. In an organization that prioritizes slugging, Fernández could become an interesting piece in the short or medium term.
For the Cuban player, the move represents a new opportunity in one of the most emblematic franchises in baseball, with the possibility of relaunching his career after an irregular start in Colorado.
