New York Yankess Trade Chase Wright to Milwaukee Brewers for Eric Fryer
Chase Wright is no longer a Yankee. He got his chance in the majors, and he got rocked. He gave up four consecutive home runs to the Boston Red Sox in a game, and after that, he never really had a chance of making it big with the club.
Itโs a shame really, because the kid showed some promise, butย the Yankees arenโt very patient with their youngsters.ย ย

Chase Wrightโs reactionโฆ
"โI felt like I definitely had a good run,โ Wright said. โThe โ07 season was my first year out of [Class] A-ball and I had two good starts at Double-A before I got called up to the Yankees, and I knew that if I put together a good run [in 2008] I would have a shot at an opportunity. It just didnโt happen. The Yankees system is just loaded, and unfortunately, I kind of got buried.โ
โIโve been in the Minor Leagues a long time and Iโve learned a lot,โ Wright said. โI think I could help out a big league team.โ
"
The Yankees obtained 23-year-old OF/C Eric Fryer in return for Wright from Milwaukee.
Iโm actually quite impressed with this kidโs statistics.ย He batted .335 with 10 HR and 63 RBI in 104 games with Single-A West Virginia this past season. He led the league in batting average and on-base percentage. Fryer also was ranked third in slugging percentage (.506).
Eric will be assigned to Single-A Tampa at the start of the season.
