MLB Trade Rumors | Connor Byrne: A bit of a bombshell here — the Yankees have reportedly made no contact with Brett Gardner since Halloween. Although the Yankees told Gardner and his agent that they’d cycle back to him after dealing with the bigger fish in free agency, the Yankees have seemingly finished the rest of their offseason, and Gardner still hasn’t even been offered a contract. Gardner’s agent, Joe Bick, said that other teams are interested in Gardner, but he hopes that things work out with the Yankees. Given the team’s need for a backup outfielder and his status among the team, bringing Gardner back seems like a no-brainer, but the Yankees might prefer to move on.
