The New York Yankees are starting to make decisions about the 2021 season, after the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series and officially ended the 2020 campaign. Yesterday, they decided to keep Zack Britton around for the next two seasons, and now, they opted not to bring back an old friend.
Outfielder Brett Gardner, who was spent his entire MLB career with the New York Yankees, is officially a free agent. The Bombers declined to pick up his $10 million option, and will instead pay him a $2.5 million buyout according to MLB Network Jon Heyman.
