A slew of Yankees were lost to the waiver wire on Friday afternoon. The roster moves weren’t unexpected, considering the Yankees needed to clear space on the 40-man roster and must activate a number of players off the 60-day injured list before Sunday. Sunday is November 7th, the date marking the beginning of MLB’s free agency period.
Here is a brief rundown of the transactions that went down on Friday after Brett Gardner and Darren O’Day declined their respective player options:
- The Pittsburgh Pirates claimed OF Greg Allen off waivers.
- The Red Sox claimed OF Tim Locastro off waivers.
