Yankees Release Former MVP Josh Donaldson After Disappointing Stint

Donaldson hit just .207 with 25 home runs over two seasons with the Yankees.
He was placed on the 60-day injured list in August 2023 with a calf injury.
The 37-year-old third baseman batted only .142 in 33 games this season.
Donaldson's subpar performance contributed to the Yankees' losing record this year.
The team now owes Donaldson $3.8 million remaining on his contract plus a $6 million buyout for 2024.
