Trent Grisham Is Finally Giving the Yankees What They've Been Waiting For

Trent Grisham’s season with the New York Yankees has swung between bursts of offense and stretches of struggle, with his defense in center field also declining. After signing a $22 million qualifying offer in November 2024, the 30-year-old spent time dealing with a hamstring injury during a period when Aaron Judge was out. Entering a series last week against the St. Louis Cardinals, Grisham hit .211/.313/.374 with a 96 wRC+ after the All-Star break, a cold run that put his lineup role under scrutiny. But a post-deadline homestand revived his impact, including key extra-base hits and a go-ahead home run on August 3.
