Availability
Cade Winquest added a sinker to his arsenal and is happy with the pitch's development thus far.
Fantasy Impact
Winquest was selected by the New York Yankees in the MLB Rule 5 Draft in December after posting a 3.99 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 106 innings between High-A and Double-A in the St. Louis Cardinals’ system. Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Thursday that Winquest will get “a real opportunity this spring to kind of showcase and let us see him.” He’s likely to begin the season in the minors, but a strong impression this spring could put him on the radar for a call-up later in the year.
The Yankees have drafted right-handed Cardinals prospect Cade Winquest with the 11th pick in the MLB Rule 5 Draft.
Fantasy Impact
Winquest, 25, spent the 2025 season between the High-A and Double-A levels in the Cardinals' system, posting a 3.99 ERA in 25 appearances, 23 of which were starts. He must remain on the Yankees' 26-man roster for the entire 2026 season or be offered back to the Cardinals for $50,000.
