If your primary goal for the 2026 New York Yankees' free agency cycle was to find an outfielder whose postseason performance can match his regular season output, then you probably didn't want either Cody Bellinger or Trent Grisham back (and Kyle Tucker's contract likely made you uncomfortable, too).
Entering 2026 marred by clear instability in the outfield would've been less than ideal for the Yankees in the middle of Aaron Judge's prime, so as awkward as a seven-year Bellinger deal may eventually become, most fans were resigned to that reality and ready to thank Grisham for his meritorious service and send him on his way.
