Yankees have an elite defensive outfielder as their 4th option

The Yankees having a fourth outfielder of Trent Grisham’s caliber is a luxury most teams don’t get to enjoy. His offense may be inconsistent, but his defense is among the best in baseball, making him a valuable depth piece behind an already-stacked Yankees outfield.

General manager Brian Cashman made it clear on Saturday that Grisham will have a much larger role in 2025 compared to last season, where he played in just 76 games.

Grisham’s offensive numbers don’t jump off the page—he hit .190/.290/.385 last year with nine homers and 31 RBIs.
