The 6-foot-7 Jones has been potent since his first promotion to Triple-A. In 19 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jones has 13 home runs and is hitting .400. His trade availability is unclear. Some reports indicate it'd take a gigantic haul, while others suggest Jones very well could be moved for a more reasonable MLB option.

The New York Yankees have already made a handful of trades this season, but there are still some big decisions to be made in the coming days.

Making him untouchable in trade talks, frankly, seems to be an absurd position for the Yankees to take, assuming it is their position.

Jones, sporting a new batting stance, hit an opposite-field home run in the top of the first inning. In the top of the third, he did it again, taking a fastball to left field for his 28th home run of the MiLB season and his second of the game. Two innings later, he went to dead center for his third dinger in as many at-bats.

The New York Yankees have been active at the trade deadline, but they still have plenty more work to do. After acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon and infielder Amed Rosario, the Yankees probably have all the position player help they need.
