HOUSTON — Saturday’s dramatic 6-4 loss in Game 6 of the ALCS didn’t just end the Yankees’ season, it could have ended Didi Gregorius’ and Brett Gardner’s time with the team.
Both veteran players will head to free agency with uncertain futures and they’ll head to the market coming off different seasons, with Gardner having had a bounce-back year and Gregorius struggling after returning from offseason Tommy John surgery.
Gardner said he “of course” wants to play next season and has been through this before — including last year, when his future was unclear.
“I haven’t really thought about it yet,” Gardner said.
