As for Florial’s departure, this took place after the incorporations of outfielders Trent Grisham and Juan Soto, which would have left him without room to have playing time.
Florial did not deliver when he had the opportunity to join the Yankees’ big team, with a .230 average in 19 games this year, although in the minor leagues he had a lot of prominence, hitting 28 home runs and driving in 79 runs in 101 games.
