After a long offseason of mostly silence from both the Yankees and Brett Gardner, there finally appeared to be some movement in the past week or so. The two sides reuniting always seemed to be the most likely outcome, given their respective situations. The Yankeed needed better outfield depth than what they had (or were willing to pay), and there was probably not going to be huge incentives for Gardner to leave the only team he’s ever played for across his 13-year career.
Per Ken Davidoff of the New York Post, Gardner and the Yankees came to terms on a new contract for 2021.
