New York Yankees: Gregorius doesn’t receive a qualifying offer
The New York Yankees didn’t extend a qualifying offer to shortstop Didi Gregorius officially making him a free agent. The club had until today at 5:00 PM on Monday to extend a $17.7 million offer to Gregorius. If the Yankees had offered him and he declined, they would’ve been given a draft pick compensation.
This isn’t a shocking move by the Yankees, as it was believed that Gregorius might be on his way out this offseason. Gleyber Torres proved this season that he can play shortstop and will most likely be the franchise’s shortstop for the next several years.
