Roberts was granted his unconditional release from the Yankees on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. The Yankees were unable to find a willing trade partner to acquire Roberts after the team DFA'd him last week, and with the veteran infielder uninterested in accepting a minor league assignment, he'll cut ties entirely with the organization. Given Roberts' age, health concerns and middling production with the Yankees this season, he may have difficulty finding another major league opportunity this season.
