Frustrated with his demotion, Miguel Andujar wants out.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old outfielder, once seen as part of the Yankees core, has requested to be traded according to Hector Gomez<\/a> of the Dominican Republic’s Z101Digital.<\/p>\n

Andujar was demoted to Triple-A Scranton \/ Wilkes-Barre on Saturday to make room on the roster for Giancarlo Stanton. <\/p>\n

Andujar slashed .268 \/ .279 \/ .317 in 12 games while filling in for Stanton. He was a breakout star in 2018, hitting 27 homers, driving in 92 runs and posting a strong .855 OPS. The Athletic’s Ken Rosental <\/a>reported that Andujar has asked to be traded in the past.<\/p>\n

For now, the Yankees seem content sticking with disappointing outfielder Joey Gallo over Andujar despite Gallo’s poor play since coming over in a trade from the Rangers last July. This year, Gallo is slashing .177 \/ .282 \/ .308 with an anemic .590 OPS and five home runs in 130 at-bats. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
