The Yankees are going to have to make some interesting moves regarding their outfield this offseason now that center fielder Aaron Hicks is out until mid-season recovering from surgery. There are plenty of great options on the free-agent market when it comes to outfielders, yet, simply put, the Yankees must re-sign Brett Gardner.
Brett Gardner made $7.5 million in 2019 and hit the most home runs of his career (28) while playing in 141 games for the injury-riddled New York Yankees outfield. Outside of the fact that he’s coming off of one of the best seasons of his career, Gardner provides irreplaceable veteran experience in the clubhouse and on the field.
