Brett Gardner is not returning to the Yankees. That has been obvious for some time. But now it seems about as official as it can get.
Joe Bick, Gardner’s agent, told The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier that “there’s really no indication” the veteran outfielder intends to play this season. Bick added he would be surprised if Gardner does play. Gardner is a native and resident of the Charleston area and he played at College of Charleston.
“It’s getting pretty late for anything to happen, especially since he hasn’t played since last October,” Bick told the newspaper.
