Fair and I’m not advocating to keep Grisham. But who do you try to replace him and that production with? You’re looking like at like Cedric Mullins, Harrison Bader (again?), Lane Thomas, Randal Grichuk, etc. types other wise. Have to assume you’re not getting Kyle Tucker and Schwarber doesn’t play the field anymore. There’s not a lot of options unless you’re going to really give Dominguez a chance all year to play center (scary defensively) and try to find a corner outfielder.
Replace his production? I want to Thanos snap his production off the Yankees. He had a career year, but he's also a player that fits the mold of 5 other Yankees. Awful BA, strikes out a ton, no contact, hits homers. I don't think he matches his positive metrics from this year ever again. I think Cody is back on the Yankees and he's a great CF. If he leaves yeah it's better Grisham is here, but I'd buckle up for a crap year. Get a player that is the opposite of the whole lineup. Contact, batting average, runs the bases and doesn't strike out 175 times.
True and good points. I just am saying with who? https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/_/year/2026/position/of/level/mlb If you bring Bellinger back then I have my answer and I agree. Easier to find a corner outfielder than CF.
FA market is awful this year you're right. Honestly I wouldn't mind Bader at all, Mullins is better than he was last year and he'll be cheap. I just can't imagine Grisham not taking the offer, and the yanks have now pigeon holed themselves into a lineup that looks very similar to this year.
