Wade was selected in the 10th round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Wade made his major league debut on April 24, 2008, for the Dodgers, working one inning in relief against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

[3] He signed a minor league contract with the Tampa Bay Rays before the 2011 season, but was later granted his release in June.

[6] He made his first appearance with the NY Yankees in relief on June 15 against the Texas Rangers, pitching a scoreless inning, retiring all three batters he faced, striking out one.

On June 16, he got the win in a 12 inning game when the Yankees defeated the Texas Rangers, retiring all six batters he faced in order.

[13] On May 13, 2013, Wade signed with the Tampa Bay Rays as a free agent and was assigned to their Triple A team, Durham Bulls.

[17] After his release by the Royals, Wade signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball in June 2014.

Though he lacks the size and premium fastball velocity of the prototypical late-inning relief pitcher, Wade has above-average command and is adept at using his off-speed pitches to induce weak contact.
