Groshans was a notable prospect a couple years ago after being selected 12th overall in the 2018 MLB Draft, but he never broke through with the Blue Jays before bouncing around the last three years between the Marlins, Yankees and Athletics. The 25-year-old infielder batted .235/.311/.318 with four homers in 383 plate appearances last year at the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He’ll continue to get opportunities based on his prospect pedigree alone, but he’s done nothing at the plate to suggest that he’s on the verge of becoming an impact fantasy contributor.

This is exactly the type of move a rebuilding franchise should theoretically make every time, exhcanging a veteran for a former top prospect recalamtion project. Groshans was a top-100 prospect just a couple seasons ago, but has fizzled out with a couple organizations lately. The 24-year-old infielder, who was the 12th overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft, holds a .590 OPS with one homer in 50 games this season in the upper minors.

The 24-year-old former top prospect had been designated for assignment earlier in the week to make room on the 40-man for Jahmai Jones, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra depth for the Bombers. Groshans hit .268/.413/.466 with 12 homers and 12 steals over 103 games at the Triple-A level in 2023.

Groshans has been removed from New York’s 40-man roster to make room for versatile infielder Jahmai Jones. The 24-year-old former top prospect, who was claimed earlier this month from the Marlins, figures to garner some interest on waivers.
