The Ottawa Titans believe in second chances.
The Canadian independent league team is standing by its newest outfielder, disgraced former Yankees farmhand Jake Sanford. Sanford, a 2019 third-round pick, was cut by the Bronx Bombers amid allegations he stole equipment from teammates and scammed memorabilia-seeking fans.
The Nova Scotia native has since returned home to the Great White North and signed with the Titans, a Frontier League team.
“Jacob Sanford made us aware of the allegations against him and has already paid dearly for it,” the club said in a statement, according to The Ottawa Citizen.
