The New York Yankees made a significant move in the Major League Baseball Rule Five Draft, selecting right-handed pitcher Carson Winquest from the St. Louis Cardinals. This is the first time in fourteen years the Yankees have made a Rule Five pick. Winquest, an eighth-round pick in the 2022 draft, has shown potential with his high-nineties fastball and diverse pitching arsenal. The Yankees aim to develop him into a big-league reliever, with the option to offer him back to the Cardinals if it doesnt work out. In the minor league phase, the Yankees drafted Hansel Rincon and Abrahan Gutierrez but lost Adam Stone, Sean Hermann, and Matt Turner to other teams.
