"Trent Grisham accepting his qualifying offer was always going to be a no-brainer. The New York Yankees' center fielder made just $5 million in 2025, which was a career year behind a slash line of .235/.348/.464 (.812 OPS) with 34 home runs and 74 RBI. The one-year pact he signed making him one of just four around Major League Baseball to sign a qualifying offer on Tuesday provides a $17 million raise, where he'll make $22.025 million in 2026."
"General manager Brian Cashman has already made it known that Grisham's return would not hinder the pursuit of a reunion with free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, who is one of the hottest commodities on the open market this winter. The 30-year-old, who is fresh off a 29-home-run season, is still believed to be the Bronx Bombers' top priority. With Ben Rice projected to be the club's Opening Day first baseman and Giancarlo Stanton still inhabiting the designated hitter's role,"
Trent Grisham accepted the Yankees' qualifying offer and will earn $22.025 million in 2026 after a career 2025 season (.235/.348/.464, 34 homers, 74 RBI). The one-year deal was one of four qualifying offers signed around MLB, yielding a $17 million raise from his $5 million 2025 salary. General manager Brian Cashman indicated Grisham's return would not block pursuit of free-agent outfielder Cody Bellinger, who remains the club's top priority after a 29-homer season. With Ben Rice at first base and Giancarlo Stanton as DH, Bellinger would likely occupy left field, creating an outfield logjam that affects prospects Jasson Dominguez and Spencer Jones.
