Jones said he understands why some may be skeptical, but he's never had more confidence in his game. Do the Yankees feel similarly?

Spencer Jones is having an incredible season in the minor leagues, and he is hoping that will lead to him joining the New York Yankees instead of landing somewhere else in a trade.

The New York Yankees have fallen to four games back of the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League East following their loss on Monday night.

"It's a few too many," manager Aaron Boone said of Volpe's 12 errors, the most in the American League this season.

New York lost Monday's series opener 4-1 and is 2-2 thus far in the second half. The Yankees had no hits with runners in scoring position while Toronto garnered 3 such base knocks. New York's American League entry has dropped 5 straight games against the Blue Jays.

"Honestly didn't know what to expect on a Monday night, but this place was rocking," Kevin Gausman said of the Jays' 11th straight home win.
