SEATTLE - With less than a month to go until the new MLB season gets underway, teams continue to use Spring training to determine which players will be making each roster this season. One of those players trying to get a good look is Venezuelan infielder Jordit Vivas, who arrived to the New York Yankees kind of in a circumstantial way. In a move designed to clear a 40-man roster spot for superstar Shohei Ohtani, Vivas was part of a deal along with Victor González that sent them to the Yankees.
Since the swap, Vivas has been trying to make something happen for him and is so far having a great Spring training with the Bronx Bombers. According to MLB Pipeline, Vivas is seen as the 10th best prospect for the Yankees ahead of the 2024 season. The Venezuelan, a 5'10" infielder that can play both second and third base, is averaging .667 and has two HR and driven in four runs in just three at-bats.
