Sawyer signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Sunday.
Sawyer will earn an invitation to big-league camp as part of the deal. He's unlikely to turn that invitation into a roster spot, as he's a 29-year-old with no experience at the major-league level.

Rotowire
The Yankees declared Sawyer a free agent Sunday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
Days after being outrighted off the Yankees' 40-man roster, Sawyer will explore his options on the open market rather than accepting an assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 28-year-old backstop has yet to make his MLB debut, but he was briefly a member of the Yankees' active roster at the tail end of the 2020 regular season.

Yankees' Wynston Sawyer: Outrighted off roster
Rotowire
Sawyer was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.
Sawyer spent a brief period of time on the Yankees' active roster in 2020 but failed to make his big-league debut. He'll remain in an organizational depth role for the club, and it's unlikely his role suddenly expands, as he's heading into his age-29 season with no major-league experience under his belt.

Rotowire
Sawyer was added to the Twins' spring training roster Thursday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The 26-year-old owns a .285/.340/.451 line across 57 games at Double-A.
