Overview
- Trent Grisham accepted the Yankees’ one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer in November after his breakout 2025.
- Brian Cashman said the price now looks like a one-year bargain relative to this offseason’s market and backed the performance as sustainable.
- New York projects a starting outfield of Cody Bellinger in left, Grisham in center and Aaron Judge in right, with Jasson Domínguez in a reserve role.
- The contract contributes to an estimated $335.5 million luxury-tax payroll, with Grisham’s AAV ranking among the highest for position players signed this winter.
- Outside analyses anticipate some home-run regression from last year’s 34, citing a 21.5% HR/FB rate versus a 13% career mark and noting recent defensive concerns.
