Ben Shields - RHP - #28 MLB.com
Undrafted FA in 2023
3.03 ERA across High-A and Double-A (35.2 IP).

Walks are a bit of an issue, but he is striking out more than one an inning and does not give up the long ball.
Rockies recieved the #10 and #28 prospect in the Yankees system for Jake Bird.
Roc Riggio - 2B - #10 according to MLB.com
4th Round pick in 2023 out of OK State.
Posting a .303 ISO this season, split between High-A and Double-A. Shows good plate discipline, with a 22% SO rate and a 12% BB rate.
