Veteran utility-man Tyler Wade played his seventh major-league season donning the Athletics’ Green & Gold uniform in 2023. Before joining Oakland, Wade had played five Major League seasons for the New York Yankees and one season for the division-rival Los Angeles Angels. Wade’s best season came in Pinstripes in 2021 when he played in 103 games and slashed .268/.354/.323 with 17 stolen bases.
How acquired?
The A’s brought Wade in on a minor-league deal on October 29th, 2022. The deal came with an invite to Spring Training to compete for a utility job, but Wade ultimately started the season with the Aviators.
