Ahead of Tuesday’s series, a former Yankees player announced his retirement from baseball.

Tyler Wade wrote (via Instagram): “Dear baseball, For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to play in the Major Leagues. Now, 13 years later and after 9 years in the big leagues, it’s time to close this chapter. I want to thank the @yankees for taking a chance on an 18-year-old kid and giving me the opportunity to live out my dream of playing for the best franchise in all of sports. To everyone in the @padres organization, the staff, the fans, thank you. I loved every minute of my two years wearing the brown and gold! @angels and @athletics , you were also a huge part of my journey, and I’m grateful for every experience along the way. To all the coaches, staff, trainers, and fans who played a part in my career, thank you. And lastly, to all my teammates: I’m going to miss the grind, the competition, the clubhouse and being in the jungle every day with the guys. Thank you, baseball. You gave me more than I could have ever dreamed of.”
