Yankees reportedly call up Tyler Wade

By -
The bad news is Starling Castro was taken out of tonights game in Chicago with a reported pulled hamstring. The good news is that help is on the way. Tyler Wade was taken out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders game following a rain delay, and many have speculated that he was packing his bags to join the Yankees in Chicago.

It has been reported by Jack Curry of YES that he will be added to the 40-man roster tonight and will be with the team tomorrow to face the White Sox in Chicago. Another baby bomber, Yankee fans will finally be able to get their first glimpse of Tyler Wade in pinstripes.
Wade is an ultra-utility player. The Yankees think that he could be a Ben Zobrist, Whit Merrifield, or Brock Holt type of player. This season in the minors, Wade has started 10 games at second base, 12 at third base, 43 at shortstop, two in left field, two in centerfield, and one in right field. Tyler Wade does it with the stick, too. He’s hitting .313 with 88 hits. He also has excellent speed as he has swiped 24 bags this season for the Railriders. It’s always exciting to see a player that has potential to be a part of the team for a long time to come back their debut. In Wade’s case, it could be tomorrow against the White Sox.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
