Miguel Andujar has requested a trade from the New York Yankees after being demoted to the minors, according to multiple reports.
Andujar informed Yankees manager Aaron Boone of his desire to be traded Friday after New York optioned the outfielder to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to reports.
The New York Post reported that Andujar has been seeking a trade since the end of the 2021 season. The Yankees have not confirmed the reports, and Boone would not elaborate on his discussion with Andujar, calling the demotion a result of a "tough numbers game."
Andujar, 27, has appeared in 12 games this season with the first-place Yankees, including 10 starts in left field.
