6-Year MLB Player Quietly Leaves New York Yankees Organization

One player that some New York Yankees fans may not have realized was part of their organization in 2026 is 6-year MLB player Jarred Kelenic. Last week, Kelenic made a notable decision regarding his MLB future. Kelenic’s transactions tracker reflects the move that he elected to MLB free agency last week. Kelenic signed a minor-league deal with the New York Yankees in late August, but never had his contract selected by the MLB club. Across 85 at-bats with AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Kelenic batted .200 with two home runs and an OPS of .556.
