Do you expect him to split time with Cespedes at SS in the FCL? Sounds Arias is the superior defender so it would seem odd to push him to 2B in deference to Cespedes.

I'd imagine Cespedes will get first crack at SS but that Arias will get some playing time there, as well. Obviously this won't be an issue if Cespedes gets to Salem quickly.

They'll play guys at multiple positions. Last year, Mayer, Yorke, and Tyler Dearden were the only players in the system stateside, other than draftees, who saw time at only one position other than the catchers and first basemen. I think.

With someone like him who has been in (velocity) training, he has really been willing to let his guard down and do some things that maybe he hadn’t done in the past to challenge himself and get some more out of himself physically than maybe he even knew he had.” Fitts is a good guy confirmed

That would be insane if Breslow got 2-3 effective MLB pitchers for Verdugo. It's also insane that the Yankees have so much minor league pitching depth they could trade them for Verdugo. They also lost 3 in the rule 5 draft, and they traded another 4 for Soto. Slightly OT, it's too bad Sox lost Fernandez who looks like a good RP for the Cardinals.
