One American League scout believes the Yankees will hold onto minor league outfielder Spencer Jones past Thursday's trade deadline, per comments made to ESPN's Jorge Castillo.

The top Yankees prospect clubbed three home runs in the first five innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre in Thursday’s clash against the Rochester Red Wings, turning heads from across the baseball world with the MLB trade deadline nearing.

The Yankees are in the middle of a mudslide that has continued after the All-Star Break. Trent Grisham, Dominguez, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger make for a strong contingent of four outfielders, and that is far from their top position of need.
