Spencer Jones still waiting for Yankees chance that’s only a ‘matter of time’ — unless he’s traded
NY Post
Justin Machado has known Spencer Jones since well before he became a top prospect and even before he coached him as a freshman at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, Calif.
Machado’s son, Austin, is a minor leaguer in the Braves system and played in Little League with Jones when they were 8 years old.
“Pretty soon, he was taller than all the coaches,’’ the coach said by phone recently. “He was always bigger and stronger than everyone else. He just had to put it all together.”
It’s a process that’s still going on, as the Yankees enter the heart of an offseason in which they are trying to keep Cody Bellinger in pinstripes or perhaps add Kyle Tucker.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
