The New York Yankees, just like most of the teams in MLB, announced 45 minor league cuts on Monday. Players and fans alike were hoping that the Bombers wouldn’t have to make such a decision, but unfortunately, they proceeded with that plan and have taken heat for it.
Outfielder Alex Junior and infielder David Metzgar were among the cuts, according to NJ.com’s Brendan Kuty. The latter said that he received a call from Yankees’ player development director Kevin Reese at around 9 a.m., and he refused to believe it.
The 26-year-old player didn’t hide his disappointment.
