Well… bye
🙁
Lol I thought he was getting a rehab assignment.
Us next please lol
He will be missed 💔
He’s definitely going to be spending some time on at least two more teams by the end of this season.
Man, I really thought he was going to magically find it again at some point over these last two seasons. /s
lol
he’s gonealdson
Why would they release him right before the playoffs?
End of an error.
Not now Yankees. We talkin’ belly guns.
And Yankees fans were upset that they weren’t going to have an emotional high point to the season like a player setting a record or winning a world series.
It’s amazing what a downhill slide he took after walking off the Red Sox in his first game in pinstripes.
Fully expect him to sign with a team like the Dodgers and to suddenly become a 120 OPS+ hitter once again
The last two seasons the Yankees missed the postseason they released a former MVP 3B
$43M on a 2.2 bWAR. Money well spent!

I am guessing the timing of this decision is to give him the opportunity to sign a minor league deal with a team before August 31st so that he would be postseason eligible. I have no idea when he will be healthy though. He hasn’t even started a rehab assignment? I wonder what the conversations between his agency and the team have been like leading up to this. Did the team do this as a favor to him or did Donaldson see the writing on the wall and knew the Yankees were not going to activate when he was ready?
No signs of rain in New York today.
Wow CASHFRAUD did something right for once, was worried the corpse of Josh Donaldson was going to come back before the end of the season and take away playing time from the young guys. Also to see if he could hit under .100 for the season.
This is my world series
Twins scammed Cashman so hard as revenge for all those playoff series
Best trade ever
Can’t wait for the Rays to sign him and him to hit .400 and 8 HR this month for them .
Toronto DID just put Matt Champan (3B) on the IL…
homecoming.
Truly a Blue Jays legend, giving us the best years of his career and then wasting $43 million of the Yankees’ money on the way out.
#TWINS WON THE TRADE
