The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the Bronx, New York City. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City, the other being the National League’s (NL) New York Mets.

The Highlanders were officially renamed the Yankees in 1913.
The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC controlled by Hal and Hank Steinbrenner, who inherited control of the team from their father George Steinbrenner III following his death in 2010. Brian Cashman is the team’s general manager, and Aaron Boone is the team’s field manager. The team’s home games were played at Yankee Stadium from 1923 to 1973 and from 1976 to 2008. In 1974 and 1975, home games were played at Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens while Yankee Stadium was renovated. From 2009 to 2018, the Yankees played at new Yankee Stadium next door to the site of their former home ballpark.

The Farm System
The Yankees have one of the deepest farm systems in baseball. They have a lot of talent at the lower levels and they continue to replenish the system with high-end prospects. Today, they announced a series of roster moves that will impact the 25-man roster.
Who are the top prospects?
Today, baseball is governed by a minor league system designed to develop talent and groom players for the major leagues. The farm system as it is called today began to take shape in the 1920s when more and more teams began to operate their own minor league teams.
The New York Yankees are one of the most successful teams in baseball history, and their farm system has been a big reason why. The Yankees have had many great players come up through their farm system over the years, including some of the best players in baseball history.
Some of the top prospects in the Yankees farm system right now include:
##Pitcher Jonathan Loaisiga
Loaisiga is a right-handed pitcher who was signed by the Yankees out of Nicaragua in 2016. He made his debut with the Yankees last year and is considered one of the top pitching prospects in baseball.
##Outfielder Estevan Florial
Florial is a left-handed hitting outfielder who was signed by the Yankees out of Haiti in 2015. He is considered one of the top hitting prospects in baseball and has all the tools to be a star at the Major League level.
##Catcher Anthony Seigler
Seigler was drafted by the Yankees with their first round pick (23rd overall) in 2018 out of Cartersville High School in Georgia. He is considered one of the top catching prospects in baseball and has a chance to be a special player at the Major League level.
Who was recently sent down?
Recently, the Yankees made the following moves:
They sent left-handed pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr. and right-handed pitcher Domingo Acevedo to their alternate training site.
They also recalled infielder Thairo Estrada and right-handed pitchers Luis Cessa and Michael King from their alternate training site.
