As the Yankees edge closer to finalizing their 26-man roster, uncertainties linger regarding player positions due to potential trades and changes in the marketplace. Manager Aaron Boone acknowledges the possibility of adjustments after their last spring game against the Rays. Currently, players Pablo Reyes and Oswald Peraza are in contention for the bench, while Yoendrys Gómez, Brent Headrick, and Yerry De Los Santos are in line for bullpen spots. Peraza, facing scrutiny due to minor league options, remains focused on his performance as he aims to secure his place on the team.
"I think we know who we're going to go with," manager Aaron Boone said after the Yankees tied the Rays 3-3 in the final home game of the spring at Steinbrenner Field. "Industry-wise, things can still happen that you never know over the next couple days. There's always that possibility that changes things. Otherwise, we're pretty close."
"They haven't told me anything," Peraza said through an interpreter. "We still have two more games left. For me, it's just to focus on my job."
"I have full confidence in the skills that I have," said Peraza, who is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Mets in Port St. Lucie and then head to Miami for Tuesday's exhibition. "I definitely want to be a better ballplayer. If you're given the chance, the work won't stop. Striving to be better on the field, that doesn't stop."
