The Yankees still haven’t made a decision on Zack Britton, so let’s prepare as if he’s leaving.
The New York Yankees need to decide whether or not they’re going to exercise Zack Britton’s 2022 contract option three days after the World Series. If they do, he’ll be signed to a two-year, $27 million deal. If they don’t, he’ll have a player option for the 2021 season, and one could assume he’d opt out of that to get more money.
