There are dozens of players in minor league baseball who are too good for Triple-A but not talented enough to last long in the Majors.
Many people on social media call them "quadruple-A" players.
A former San Francisco Giants top prospect is doing his best to get another chance in the Majors after failing to live up to expectations on his first go-round.
On Friday, the Yankees announced that second baseman and outfielder Marco Luciano was promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
The 24-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Yankees during the offseason, and it may turn out to be a sneaky good move.
Luciano hit 10 home runs, recorded 23 RBIs, and slashed .327/.410/.713 in 28 games in Double-A. He is now one step closer to making it back to the Majors for the first time since 2024 with the Giants, who may have given up on him too soon.
