Yankees Designate Bubba Thompson For Assignment
11 months agoThe New York Yankees designated outfielder Bubba Thompson for assignment on Friday to make room on their 40-man roster for the addition of right-handed Luke Weaver, who was previously signed to a one-year major-league deal for the 2024 season. Thompson could remain with the organization if he's not claimed off waivers by another club. The 25-year-old former first-round pick of the Texas Rangers in 2017 hasn't panned out after hitting .242 (54-for-223) with a home run, 13 RBI and 22 stolen bases the last two years for the Rangers in 92 games played. In 37 games this past season, he went 9-for-53 (.170) with no homers, four RBI and 16 strikeouts in 60 plate appearances. Thompson hit .256/.334/.391 in 302 trips to the plate at Triple-A Round Rock.
