Most minor leaguers respond to the end of their baseball careers by quietly packing up and moving on to the next phase of their life. Former New York Yankees minor leaguer Garrison Lassiter responded by filing a lawsuit demanding $34 million from the organization.
According to Brendan Kuty of NJ.com, Lassiter saw his multi-million dollar lawsuit, filed in Dec. 2018 with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, dismissed in May 2019.
At the center of Lassiter’s allegations: an insidious effort by the Yankees to sabotage his baseball career at the request of superstar shortstop Derek Jeter.
