Mike Yastrzemski’s “contract drive”

The San Francisco Giants have an easy but sizable decision to make regarding fan favorite Mike Yastrzemski this offseason. To tender or not to tender, that is the question. Has he earned it?

With 3 home runs on the current road trip, Mike Yastrzemski has brought his season batting line (.232/.306/.443) up to within shouting distance of last season’s line (.233/.330/.445) and given himself a shot at a ~$10 million contract he appears to be in line for based on the history of MLB’s salary arbitration process. His contract for 2024 is $7.9 million.
