The New York Yankees are beginning to plan for the 2021 season, and even made a minor roster move on Tuesday. Earlier today, the Bombers outrighted catcher Wynston Sawyer off the Major League roster and onto the roster of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
This means that Sawyer cleared waivers after being designated for assignment, so he was “outrighted” from the 40-man roster and transferred to the roster of a minor-league affiliate of the Yankees, in this case, Triple-A. Sawyer is no longer part of the 40-man roster.
