Miguel Andujar Requests New York Yankees to Trade After His Latest Demotion

Seems like the good old days are back for the New York Yankees. Under the leadership of Aaron Boone, the Yanks have been top-notch in MLB this season. The reason behind the Yankees’ successful run is that they have been playing as a team. 

The chemistry between the players has been the biggest positive for the Pinstripes. However, one player does not want to be part of the Yankees squad anymore, amidst all the success and cheers. Yes! Star third baseman, Miguel Andujar, has requested the Yankees to trade him for the good of both parties.

As things stand, the Yankees have one of the most balanced sides in the entire Major League Baseball. And given the form of the players, it must be difficult for the Yankees management to decide on players to keep on the active roster. Earlier in May, the Yankees had placed Giancarlo Stanton on a 10-day injured list. Now, since he was back on the active roster, Boone had to demote Miguel Andujar.

Ever since his debut in MLB, Miguel Andujar has not played for any other team but the New York Yankees. But now, the star third baseman does not want to continue with the Pinstripes. Per MLB.com, Miguel has requested the Yankees for a trade. Because he wants to play the big league games.

Notably, after the inclusion of Giancarlo Stanton, Boone optioned him to Triple-A. Talking about Miguel’s wish request for a trade, Boone expressed he does not want him to leave the team.

“Last night was really difficult. He’s been playing regularly for us and has been a part of us winning ballgames,” the Yankees manager said. “There have been other times in the last few years when it’s been needed to go down there and work through some things, get built up. Right now, he’s contributing, and he knows that. We know that.”

Do the Yankees stand a chance to win the World Series?
