Tyler Wade News
The Oakland Athletics signed infielder Tyler Wade to a minor league deal on Friday. Wade played the second half of the 2022 regular season on a non-roster deal with the New York Yankees but elected free agency earlier this month. The 27-year-old has spent time with the Yankees and Los Angeles Angels in his six big-league seasons. In 67 games with the Angels this year, he slashed .272/.272/.544 with a homer, eight RBI, 22 runs scored and eight stolen bases. The utility infielder had developed into one of New York's more interesting prospects after being a fourth-round pick in 2013, but he never had more than 145 plate appearances and has become more of a utility bat at this stage of his career. With plenty of opportunity in Oakland, Wade will compete for a roster spot in spring training next year.
The New York Yankees acquired utilityman Tyler Wade from the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the deal. Wade was designated for assignment by the Angels earlier this month, and now he'll head back to the team that drafted him and where he spent his first five seasons. The 27-year-old will head to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In 67 games for the Halos in 2022, Wade hit .218/.272/.272 with one homer, eight RBI, 22 runs scored and eight stolen bases. The former fourth-round pick will provide infield depth for the Yankees moving forward.
Los Angeles Angels outfielder Brandon Marsh and third baseman Tyler Wade are both out of the starting lineup in Game 1 of a doubleheader against the New York Yankees on Thursday. Both left-handed hitters will get a game to rest with Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes on the mound. Marsh is hitting .276/.329/.393 with four homers, 26 RBI, 18 runs scored and three stolen bases in 43 games this year, while Wade hasn't been as good, slashing .229/.288/.302 with one homer, seven RBI, 14 runs and five steals in 41 games. Juan Lagares is starting in left field and is hitting eighth, while Matt Duffy gets the start at third base and is batting cleanup against the Yanks. Duffy is obviously the more attractive DFS play. He doesn't have much power at all, but he has gone 19-for-65 (.292) in 24 games this year.
