• Rougned Odor: Cut loose by Yankees

  08/13/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Yankees released Odor on Aug. 1. Signed to a minor-league deal April 10, Odor was assigned to the Florida Complex League and was immediately placed on the 7-day injured list when rookie-ball play got underway May 4. Odor never ended up appearing in any games at the FCL level or for another affiliate before the Yankees cut ties with the 30-year-old. If Odor pursues a return to affiliated ball in 2025, he'll likely have to settle for another minor-league deal, though retirement or a move to a foreign league may be a more realistic next step.

  The Padres released Odor on Monday. Odor was designated for assignment last week and has now officially cleared waivers.

Over 157 plate appearances with the Padres this season, Odor slashed .210/.306/.370 with four home runs and two stolen bases.
