However, according to sources, three to four teams currently engaged in trade discussions with the Yankees have inquired about De Peña, who leads the FCL with 16 HR.”
De Peña is 19.
He was recently promoted.

Social Media Reacts To Report
Here’s what people were saying about Romero’s report:
@eyyankees: “Wow folks… something could be brewing!”
@BobbyMilone29: “Of course teams will ask for him But no way in hell should they trade him for a bat like Adell, that would be idiotic”
@AnthonyGros13: “Day off for Pena but clearly has interest around the league…… wouldn’t it be something to get Jo Adell for Pena??? LOL”

@NYY228: “i don’t take much stock into francy’s source game but i’m only trading De Peña for a stat level player Someone like Adell should be Jace Avina and Brendan Beck”
@Smilodon48: “The Angels moving Adell to re-acquire De Peña would be fine, but would be rather comical. Especially if we needed multiple assets to make it work.”
@Rickymartello04: “U move him for a Skubal, miller, or Jeremy Pena not Jo adell”
