Last season, New York Yankees veteran outfielder Brett Gardner made it known that he wanted to return for one more season. Having played in front of nobody for 60 games, Gardner wanted his family to see him in pinstripes one last time, but the Yankees went ahead and reject his $10 million club option for 2021. Instead, they elected to settle on his $2.5 million buyout, and while Gardner still desires to make a return, the Yankees aren’t willing to spend more than a few million on his services.
In fact, after 13 years of service in pinstripes, Gardy hasn’t even been considered since Halloween.
