Yankees re-sign Brett Gardner to a one-year, $12.5M deal with a club option for 2021

The Yankees re-signing Gardner shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone and it’s a move that had to be made. Gardy is coming off of a career year offensively and with Aaron Hicks expected to miss a large chunk of the beginning of next season recovering from Tommy John surgery, it was crucial that the Yanks brought him back.

Gardner was always expected to be re-signed by the Yankees this offseason but it took a while for it to happen because the team was solely focused on landing free-agent starter Gerrit Cole first. Once they signed their newest ace to a record-breaking contract on Tuesday it was only going to be a matter of time before they got a deal done with Gardy.
