The New York Yankees released minor league outfielder Jake Sanford on Tuesday after he was accused of some dirty dugout drama, according to multiple reports.

The Yankees selected Sanford in the third round of the 2019 MLB Amateur Draft out of Western Kentucky. He played for Single-A+ Hudson Valley and Single-A Tampa in the Yankees’ organization last season after minor league baseball took 2020 off due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to NJ.com, Sanford was accused of stealing from his teammates' lockers and emphatically urging his teammates to sell their equipment online. He was also accused of scamming fans by allegedly taking their money for autographs and never delivering.

Sanford deleted his Twitter account this week after the allegations surfaced. He signed with the Frontier League’s Ottawa Titans on Tuesday after the Yankees cut him.
