The organization has also added newly-signed pitcher Colten Brewer to the 40-man roster.Many expected Florial to play a significant role in the Yankees' outfield this season. The 25-year-old has worked his way up the club's minor league system since joining the club in 2015.

The executive resisted trading Florial during his peak and ended up losing him for nothing.In fairness, he was never offered an opportunity to prove what he could do in the big leagues. Over four seasons in the MLB, Florial finished with a .185/.302/.278 and a .580 OPS. He recorded one home run, three RBIs and three stolen bases over 54 at-bats.Estevan Florial was replaced by newly-signed pitcher Colten BrewerEstevan Florial of the New York Yankees hits an RBI single during the second inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee StadiumDue to a series of injuries to their pitching staff, the New York Yankees were forced to dip into the market for replacements. Luis Severino, Carlos Rodon and Frankie Montas are all on the injured list to start the season.The club recently acquired pitcher Colten Brewer from the Tampa Bay Rays as cover for the decimated rotation. Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt are also expected to start during the early stretch of the season.The recent additions of Brewer and outfielder Franchy Cordero were bad news for Estevan Florial. The once highly-rated prospect found himself surplus to requirements. Several teams will be interested in signing the talented outfielder who is yet to reach his potential.
