Impact Wade has done very little at the plate in parts of five big-league seasons, hitting .212/.298/.307 with six homers and a 1.9 percent barrel rate in 491 plate appearances. He's much more interesting as a fantasy option, as he's stolen 30 bases in his career, including 17 in 145 plate appearances last season. He'll have to outperform his career numbers to keep earning regular at-bats, but he'll be one of the best cheap sources of speed available if he's able to do that.

Agrees to deal with Angels Wade and the Angels agreed to terms on a one-year, $825,000 contract Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact Wade is in the mix to be the Angels' Opening Day shortstop. He's the most interesting fantasy option among the contestants thanks to his speed, as he stole 17 bases in just 145 plate appearances last season, but he doesn't do much with his bat. it took a .378 BABIP just to get him to a modest .268/.354/.323 slash line last season.

In mix for starting role Wade is one of at least five players competing to be the Angels' Opening Day shortstop, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact David Fletcher is set to open the season as the starter at second base, but his middle-infield partner remains in question. The Angels neglected to sign a big-name shortstop in the offseason, so it appears that a spring position battle between Wade, Matt Duffy, Luis Rengifo, Jack Mayfield and Andrew Velazquez will determine the team's regular starter at the position. Los Angeles acquired Wade from the Yankees in November after he slashed .268/.354/.323 with 31 runs and 17 stolen bases last season.

Acquired by Angels Wade was traded from the Yankees to the Angels in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations Monday.
Impact Wade's defensive versatility has helped him carve out a role as a bench player, but he isn't a particularly exciting one. Over the last three seasons, he's hit .233/.328/.330 with five homers and 28 steals in 358 trips to the plate. He did hit a career-best .268 last season, but that came with a .194 xBA and a miniscule 1.1 percent barrel rate, so it's tough to argue his offensive profile has genuinely changed. His speed provides a pathway to deep-league relevance should he stumble into unexpected playing time, but he might hit poorly enough to offset most of what he provides with his legs even in that case.

Designated for assignment Wade was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday.
Impact He was out of minor-league options and the Yankees had a 40-man roster crunch. A rebuilding club may take a chance on Wade due to his .328 OBP over the last three seasons and ability to play multiple infield spots.

Notches two steals Wednesday Wade stole a pair of bases as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
Impact With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Wade entered the contest as a pinch runner for Kyle Higashioka. The speedster stole second base as Brett Gardner struck out and subsequently swiped third, but the Yankees were unable to bring him home. Wade leads the team with 17 thefts on the campaign, but he rarely starts and is therefore difficult to roster in fantasy, even for managers chasing steals.
