Yankees release Rivera amid glove theft controversy
Yankees outfielder Ruben Rivera was released after two meetings with GM Brian Cashman. Reports state Rivera took Derek Jeter's glove from the shortstop's locker and later returned it, with The New York Times noting a $2,500 sale to a memorabilia dealer. Rivera, 28, had a $700,000 salary this year and a $1.6 million option buyout. He spent six years in the Yankees system and was competing for backup center field.
