“He’ll just throw an amazing bullpen and he’ll be like, ‘Ah, it sucked,’” Moskos said. Upon hearing that, veteran catcher Yan Gomes suggested that at the highest level it’s important to “give yourself some grace” and “take the positive of every outing.” It’s an aspect Wesneski is still learning to balance. After a recent strong start in Oakland, Wesneski picked apart what he did wrong. Wesneski, 25, is so diligent in his work and obsessed with improvement that he can often come across as hypercritical of himself. In joining the Cubs, Wesneski found another organization with a tech-savvy approach, a focus on process rather than results, and a familiarity with some of his, uh, quirks. “Shoot, he might burst through the ceiling I had initially put on him,” Moskos said. If you were to try and put together the personality of a young pitcher that is on a path towards success, those are attributes that you would look over, and those were the attributes that Moskos endorsed quite heavily.” But moreover, what stood out was the quality of the worker, the diligence, the aptitude, the curiosity. “The pitch data and performance is readily available to everyone,” Breslow said, “so it’s getting more difficult to glean a ton of insights from that, though I do think we have a unique way of looking at those things. But with Moskos’ input, they trusted in the person they were getting, as well. So they trusted they’d be getting a good pitcher in Wesneski, believing he wouldn’t need to make drastic changes. The Yankees revamped their pitching development programs just a little before the Cubs took that step after the 2019 season, a process spearheaded by Breslow, the ex-major-league pitcher and a Yale graduate who’s now the organization’s assistant general manager/senior vice president of pitching.īreslow and many within the Cubs’ front office are fans of what the Yankees do, which is part of the reason why Moskos was pursued. On the day before last year’s trade deadline, the Yankees packaged Waldichuk in a deal with the A’s for Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino, and exchanged Wesneski for sidearm reliever Scott Effross. In scouting terms, Moskos believed that Waldichuk had a higher ceiling while Wesneski had a higher floor. 213/.291/.361 with four homers and 23 RBI in 66 games for Colorado’s Class AA Hartford club.Moskos, 37, has the perspective of a 2007 first-round pick who briefly pitched in the majors as a left-handed reliever before getting in front of some of the pitching trends running through the game. The right-handed hiting Rabago, 25, was slashing. The Yankees’ 40-man roster now stands at 40. On Wednesday, the Yankees acquired Colorado Rockies catcher Chris Rabago off waivers and optioned him to Class AA Trenton. Judge's timetable to return to the Yankees’ lineup is sometime after Sept. When he’s pain-free, Judge will be permitted to swing. Slugging outfielder Aaron Judge (chip fracture, right wrist) conducted outfield work on Wednesday but he’s yet to pick up a bat. "Probably as good as it’s been at any time this year,’’ the manager said. Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez’s minor league rehab stint will begin either Thursday or Friday in the Gulf Coast League according to Boone, who expects Sanchez to transfer to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by next week.īoone praised the conditioning work Sanchez has put in during this second stint on the 10-day disabled list this season, due to a strained right groin. The Yankees’ regular season ends at Texas on Sept.
