The New York Yankees have a position battle developing in the outfield, and despite bringing back veteran Brett Gardner for the 2021 season and a club option for 2022, he will have to earn his spot on the roster. Considering the number of injuries the team has dealt with in the OF, coming from Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks, having quality depth is a necessity.
The Yankees brought in Derek Dietrich, Jay Bruce, and Socrates Brito. So far, Dietrich and Bruce are battling it out for an active roster spot, with both of them being neck and neck up to this point.
