Maybe for later?  Don’t know yet.

Michael Tonkin? (Having a pretty decent year but recently DFA'd by the Yankees anyway)

Or maybe Brandon Young is getting the call?

MLBTR reporting we claimed old friend Brooks Kriske, who has a 5.3 BB/9 in 49.1 IP at AAA this year.

Meh.

I don't get it. I've never been the biggest Vespi fan, but he's serviceable. Kriske is 30 and has a career ERA of 11. Maybe there's more ceiling with Kriske, but we need stability, and I think we're more likely to get that with Vespi.

And also a whopping 5.3 BB/9.

And a 1.1 HR/9.

At AAA.

Not a huge Vespi fan but I don’t get this move.

This move would make sense if Brooks had an option, but he doesn’t seem to so will need to join MLB team.

It’s more of the we can fix him syndrome

Pure guess but they can’t option him anymore this year and prefer a RHP. 
 

That said, who knows.

He has already been sent to AAA. He was on a MiL contract.
