Shed Long had a very short career with the Yankees:

Shed Long is a 2B, and the Yankees have a logjam in the infield at virtually every level of the minors. What the Yankees really could use is an athletic center fielder who isn’t yet in the upper minors. The one area the Mariners seem to have some depth at in the minors is the outfield. The Mariners need infield prospects badly. Long also needs to be added to the 40-man, while Stowers doesn’t, and while the Mariners can easily find a slot for Long, the Yankees can not. So in retrospect, it isn’t an entirely surprising turn of events that the Mariners would get involved.
That’s Josh Stowers, who posted a .260/.380/.410 slash line at low A Ball. His seasonal age was 21 in 2018, so he was old for that level. The Yankees have plenty of power, so if he develops as a lead-off hitter, he’ll fill an important role for the team.
