Overview
- New York tendered the standard one-year qualifying offer (approximately $22.0 million) to Trent Grisham after his 34-homer, .811 OPS breakout season.
- Several analysts suggest Grisham may accept due to limited multi-year track record and a defensive dip, though ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel projects a possible four-year, $90 million market.
- Reporting from NJ.com indicates the Yankees plan to chase a Cody Bellinger reunion regardless of Grisham’s decision, keeping a high-end outfield on the table.
- If Grisham stays and Bellinger returns, CBS Sports notes Domínguez could be floated in trade talks as New York sorts out playing time next to Aaron Judge.
- Multiple outlets flag Grisham’s sharp defensive regression and warn that a $22 million acceptance would strain offseason payroll flexibility even with only a one-year commitment.
