The Yankees have started cleaning up their 40-man roster, and it appears like Domingo German’s tenure with the team has come to an end.
According to The Post’s Joel Sherman, the team waived German on Thursday, along with Matt Bowman, Franchy Cordero, Jimmy Cordero, Billy McKinney, and Ryan Weber.
If no team comes forward to claim them by Monday, they will be outrighted to the minors and will be eligible for free agency once they reach the minors.
Only around four months have passed since German, who still had one year of team control, threw a perfect game.
After an incident in the clubhоuse at Yankee Stadium оn August 2, he was placed оn the restricted list while he received treatment fоr alcоhоl abuse.The right-hander was banned fоr 81 games in the past fоr a dоmestic abuse viоlatiоn.
The Yankees started the offseason on Thursday after the World Series ended on Wednesday by placing six players on outright waivers, all of whom were candidates for non-tender.
