LOL such a stupid move.

It's nice to feel like you've found a diamond in the rough with Grisham but he is way overrated. Other than his 34 HR helped by the Yankees right field porch he batted .235 with less than 10 SB and didn't show up in the postseason. A typical Cashman signing. Meanwhile whe we watch young stars again experience and thrive like Chourio, Jackson Holliday,PCA and the like we are stuck watching our young stars on the bench. And hal will not fire Cashman or Boone no matter how much they wreck this team. This is exactly the blueprint of the early 90s Yankees. Looks like as Yankees fans we are stuck in mediocrity for a long time

They should DFA him

I don’t love the move but Grisham is only 29 and will be playing for a contract again. Also the RF porch isn’t going anywhere.

His defense got worse, he's not a leadoff hitter, and we absurdly have a budget so you can't waste 22m on him.

Joy. Cashman gambled and lost. Grisham will more than likely regress to his usual self and Cashman will use this as an excuse why he can't being back Bellinger or get Tucker and upgrade the "can't hit" left side of the infield.

I don't see this team doing anything next year. 3 of their starters (including 2 good ones) won't pitch until who knows when. The left side of the infield can't hit. The outfield other than Judge can't hit. Jazz will either hit a bomb or K. Wells can't hit at catcher. Unless Hal relents and lets Cashman go all in on someone who can hit and another starter, it looks like it's going to be a lost 2026 season.

Cashman is bad but I wonder if this deal is a sign of things to come this offseason with no baseball in 2027.

I doubt it. Teams like the Dodgers and Mets will load up in case of the strike/new CBA. Other top 10 payroll teams, like the Blue Jays, will probably spend, but the Yankees won't as usual.

He's the 5th highest salary on the team, what are we doing?

What moves to make this team better do you think Hal is actually going to agree to when he's basically come out and said they aren't going over the luxury tax and according to Mandy, they now have $12 million left. I'm not even sure if that number takes into account what players in arbitration are going to win.

At this time, they are worse than last year's team. Starting pitching will barely be serviceable until the All Star break when they get their ace and last year's #2 starter back. They have no closer. We have to hope Caballeros/Cabrera are better than Volpe/McMahon and even then, idiot Boone, will probably play Volpe again when he gets back.

Grisham was a big risk and the Yankees blew it. This management has shown us fans zero trust that they can improve this team. Until they prove to me, they are going to change, I'm not going to sit here and act like the Yankees are going to win the division and the world series next year.

Grisham ain't that bad guys, settle down. You're gonna have to get used to big brother being around and you not getting all the top talent each year in FA.

He's a career .218 hitter.

[NYBBFAN]

Grisham plays like crap at home.

[spuds1961]

So Grisham has the crowd chirping.

[spuds1961]

I won’t even worry till at least March.

[livfreely]

Let’s hope he pans out! Definitely not Cody B. Level by any stretch

Does this mean Jasson is gone?

It probably means Spencer Jones isn't coming up in 2026 unless they want to force another center fielder to learn how to play left field in Yankee Stadium on the fly.

[carlo16]

Empty the farm for Skubal. Take anyone not named Schlittler and Lombard
Get to the playoffs with
Skubal
Fried
Cole
Schlitter

Regroup in 2028

Has any talking head or writer or commentator come out and said the Trent signing was a good move? I can't remember another time when everyone thought a move was stupid.

That's a good question. I can't think of a close 2nd. Jared Wright maybe? NY radio is killing the Yanks over this.

As bad as they were everyone liked Pavano, Ellsbury(I hated it), Randy Johnson.
