Extended Spring Training
While working through some visa issues, No. 2 prospect Yoelqui Cespedes is taking part in extended spring training action in Arizona. During an exhibition game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday, he crushed a two-run home run in the first inning. It’s expected that Cespedes will eventually report to Double-A Birmingham, per an earlier update from The Athletic’s James Fegan.
