The Staten Island Yankees, once affiliated with the New York Yankees, has shut down and filed a lawsuit accusing the MLB team of violating an agreement that it would never abandon the farm club.
The Cubs non-tendered 2016 World Series hero Kyle Schwarber on Wednesday, making him a free agent after six seasons in Chicago, while tendering contracts to third baseman Kris Bryant, shortstop Javier Baez and catcher Willson Contreras.
After hitting just .147 last season and being replaced as the primary catcher during the postseason, Gary Sanchez will receive a contract tender from the Yankees, sources told ESPN.
