PrintThe Yankees acquired minor league righty Jason Hirsh from the Rockies, according to Tyler Kepner of the New York Times. Hirsh, 27, started 19 games for the 2007 NL Champion Rockies, but hasn't made an appearance in the majors so far this season. He's allowed 130 hits and 35 walks in just over 101 innings at Triple A, striking out 59.
It's a depth move for the Yankees and it's unclear what they gave up to obtain Hirsh.
The Yankees also released veteran pitcher Brett Tomko, according to Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger. The Yankees designated the righty for assignment earlier in the month.

It's surprising to me to see how little the Rockies got out of the Jennings trade.
As an Astros fan, I am used to thinking of the Jason Jennings trade as a terrible trade for the Astros. But, when you see how little the Rockies have to show for that trade now, it doesn’t look like a good trade for Colorado, which must mean it wasn’t as one sided as we thought. I think many Astros fans believed that Hirsh was on the cusp of stardom. He was the Astros’ No. 1 pitching prospect. And now he is reduced to ….“depth,” filler.
As they say, “there is no such thing as a pitching prospect.”
