Harrison Bader’s sister is excited that her big bro is returning to the Big Apple.
On Tuesday, before the MLB trade deadline, the Yankees swapped lefty starter Jordan Montgomery to the Cardinals for Bader to fortify their outfield.
On Instagram, Bader’s younger sister, Sasha, was ecstatic with the news. She posted a photo with the caption, “My brother is coming homeeeee,” with blue and white heart emojis.
A second photo in her Instagram stories showed the family dog wearing a Yankees cap.
