Cabello was traded from the Yankees to the Rangers on Tuesday along with Josh Stowers in exchange for Rougned Odor and cash.
Cabello was a trendy prospect a few years ago, but he hasn't shone as bright above the Gulf Coast League. He's noteworthy as a catcher turned center fielder with plus speed and a quick bat, but Cabello could have desperately used the developmental reps that the pandemic cost him in 2020.
Yankees' Antonio Cabello: Awaits short-season assignment
Rotowire
Cabello is being held back in extended spring training until he can be sent to a short-season league in June, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
Cabello had an incredible pro debut last year, splitting time between the Dominican Summer League and Gulf Coast League, but it was unrealistic to expect the Yankees to bump him up to Low-A to start this season. He will either be sent to the Appalachian League or the New York-Penn League in mid-June.
