Garver Triggers Assignment Clause, Yankees Face Monday Deadline

Mitch Garver, signed to a minor league deal by the Yankees earlier this month, has triggered an assignment clause in his contract. Other teams have until 2pm CT Monday to indicate willingness to add Garver to their active roster. If interest exists, the Yankees then have 48 hours to either add him themselves or trade him to an interested club. The Yankees are reportedly seriously considering adding Garver to their own active roster, which would likely require designating backup catcher Ali Sanchez for assignment.
