Still reeling from Trent Grisham accepting the qualifying offer from the New York Yankees? You're not alone. At its surface, it didn't make much sense. If you squint, though, there's a pretty solid pathway forward.
But what if there's more to the story? What if the Yankees knew what they were doing all along, and were using the deal to set up their next move? According to Jon Heyman, the higher-ups knew there was a good chance Grisham would accept the offer.
That means there's another move up their sleeve. Or it means they're incompetent.
