On Tuesday, the New York Yankees waived Harrison Bader.
"I was in the lunch room, saw it on ESPN," Bader said."Guess it popped up somehow over there, so that's how I found out."The Yankees' season has not gone to plan on several fronts. A team with title aspirations entered play on Wednesday in last place in the AL East at 64-68. General managerThat Bader learned his fate from TV instead of someone in New York's front office further suggests that things are not running optimally in New York.
"Regardless of what happened or may happen, just getting the opportunity to play in this uniform — and I still hopefully do get the opportunity to play in this uniform — just everything that's happened has just been an absolute blessing, an absolute gift. ... I'm a New York City kid, and I never in a million years thought I'd play in the big leagues, let alone for the New York Yankees.". He's slashing .239/.275/.
Bader, like the rest of MLB's waived players, will learn of his fate on Thursday. Teams can make claims starting Thursday with priority based on the reverse order of standings. Players acquired by a midnight deadline Thursday will be eligible for the playoff roster on their new teams. This means that teams in playoff contention will have one last chance to upgrade their roster with a player who can play in the postseason. Teams like the San Diego Padres, Cincinnati Reds, Miami Marlins and San Francisco Giants are among the teams expected to be on the market for talent.
