Outfield prospect Jake Sanford's time with the New York Yankees organization is over after he reportedly stole from teammates and defrauded fans.

Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reported the Yankees cut Sanford last Thursday following allegations he stole bats and gloves from teammates and attempted to sell them online. He also apparently "repeatedly hounded teammates for their equipment."

Fans also said he accepted their money in advance for autographed equipment that he was not always able to provide.
