The New York Yankees<\/a> entered the offseason unsure if Trent Grisham would stay in the Bronx. General manager Brian Cashman described the qualifying offer decision as a \u201c50-50\u201d call, knowing the outfielder could accept or test free agency.<\/p>\n

When Grisham agreed to a one-year, $22.025 million deal, Cashman welcomed the certainty, and the Yankees gained stability in the outfield as the free\u2011agent market grew increasingly unpredictable.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this point, that $22 million looks like a bargain, the way the free-agent market got away from everybody,\u201d Cashman said on SiriusXM\u2019s MLB Network Radio. \u201cWe\u2019re really happy he chose to stay. Hopefully, he can keep building on last year\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can Grisham repeat his breakout?<\/p>\n

Grisham, 29, posted career highs in 2025 with 34 home runs, 116 hits, 74 RBIs, and a .235\/.348\/.464 slash line. His resurgence followed a difficult 2024, when he batted .190\/.290\/.385 while adjusting to a part-time role after being acquired from the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like when I can get my mind to this level,\u201d Grisham said during the season according to MLB.com<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of fun to learn from that and produce on a nightly basis. It\u2019s what I\u2019ve always dreamed about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cashman noted the team\u2019s confidence in Grisham\u2019s defense, despite a slight dip in 2025 due to a left hamstring injury. Manager Aaron Boone believes the outfielder could return to Gold Glove form with health and consistency.<\/p>\n

With Cody Bellinger<\/a> signed to a five-year deal and Aaron Judge in the lineup, playing time for young outfielders like Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones may be limited. \u201cInjuries or lineup changes can open spots,\u201d Cashman said. \u201cWe have a lot of depth, but opportunities are there if guys can step in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Yankees entered the offseason unsure if Trent Grisham would stay in the Bronx.
