Yankees prospect Jake Sanford was cut from the organization last Thursday after it was revealed the former third round pick was allegedly stealing equipment from his teammates in order to sell it.
NJ.com reported that Sanford “repeatedly hounded” his teammates to give him their bats, gloves and other equipment. Sometimes, he just took it from their lockers without their consent.
On top of stealing from his teammates, Sanford also was accused of scamming fans online by selling autographed equipment but then never actually sending it.
When fans began calling the outfielder out on Twitter for his scamming, Sanford ended up deactivating his Twitter account.
