Spencer Jones Facing More Competition for Role on Opening Day Roster?
New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones will have a much tougher task to crack the Opening Day roster during spring training, following the signing of Cody Bellinger. Before Bellinger was slated to return to the Bronx, Jones was expected to be considered for a role in left field, competing alongside switch-hitter Jasson Dominguez. However, with Bellinger now back in the mix, the outfield seems quite crowded for the time being. Last summer, Jones opened the season with Double-A but needed just 49 games to prove he was ready to make the jump to the top level in the Yankee system. Through his first 67 games at Triple-A, Jones blasted 19 home runs with a .274/.342/.555 slash line. Even though he is unlikely to break camp with the Yankees, he could become a top stash option and would be the first name called following an injury.
