Overview

  • Grisham must decide Tuesday on a one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer that would keep him in New York for 2026.
  • A rejection would send him into free agency with draft-pick compensation attached, and projections suggest he could seek a multiyear deal in a thin center-field market.
  • His decision will affect New York's pursuit of Cody Bellinger and could clarify roles for Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones.
  • GM Brian Cashman said the club would be happy to have Grisham back after what he called a strong season.
  • Teams are weighing his 34-homer breakout against a notable defensive downturn, and a Bleacher Report prediction links him to the Astros if he moves on.
