The Yankees' signing of Yerry De los Santos barely registered a blip on the media radar, and the coverage that did exist painted an unflattering picture of a reliever clearly not ready to stick at the big-league level. Five tracked headlines captured a yo-yo pattern between the majors and minors that signaled organizational uncertainty about his readiness rather than any coherent plan to develop him. His quick demotion following a call-up essentially confirmed what the sparse coverage implied — De los Santos is organizational depth in the truest, least exciting sense of the phrase. Fans, already occupied with more pressing roster concerns and injury news surrounding the club, largely ignored the move altogether, which tells you everything about its perceived significance. Unless he dramatically sharpens his command in Triple-A, De los Santos looks destined to remain roster filler, and a C sentiment grade is the honest, unvarnished read on where media and fan perception currently sit.
