Yankees defend decision to draft shortstop tied to campus swastika incident
The New York Yankees have defended their decision to draft University of Utah shortstop Core Jackson in the fifth round of last month's MLB draft, despite reports of an incident in which he drew a swastika on a Jewish student's dorm room door while he was a freshman at the University of Nebraska in 2021. The Yankees say they conducted a deep investigation and cleared Jackson after he claimed to have no memory of the incident, as he was "blackout drunk" at the time. Additionally, Jackson also faced a DUI charge while at the University of Utah.
