Overview

  • The projected value of MLB’s qualifying offer is about $22 million, per the New York Daily News citing a source, setting up a key Yankees decision on Grisham.
  • If extended, a declined offer would yield New York draft-pick compensation, while an acceptance would lock in a sizable one-year salary for 2026.
  • Grisham enters the weekend at 33 home runs with an .821 OPS and a 130 wRC+, marking clear career highs after limited action last season.
  • Over his last 50 games he has 16 extra-base hits, all home runs, a feat last seen in a 50-game span by Mickey Mantle in 1958.
  • Signed for $5 million this year, Grisham is expected to draw a significant raise per Jon Heyman, though defensive metrics show regression and the Yankees have outfield depth with Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones.
