Los Angeles Angels land Tyler Wade to add depth to their infield by parting ways with either some cash or a player to be named later.
The New York Yankees have helped the Los Angeles Angels add a versatile player to their roster as the Yankees have apparently decided to part ways with Tyler Wade. The Yankees previously designated Wade for assignment, which is what ultimately led to the deal happening.
In the trade, the Yankees will either receive a player to be named later or cash considerations, which can be a pretty good thing to have.
The 26-year-old Wade is fresh off a season in which he played a career-high 103 regular season games.

In those outings, Wade managed to compile a .268 batting average. While he’s not necessarily an impressive hitter, he is versatile and could potentially play a few different positions for whichever team he’s on, depending on the need that team has.
It’s not clear who the Yankees will get in the trade, but even if the player to be named later portion of the deal doesn’t work out, it never hurts to get some cash to work with. It’ll be fascinating to see how this unfolds for New York and who they do eventually get on their roster.
