Yankees sign veteran outfielder, possible Brett Gardner replacement?

The New York Yankees haven’t been in contact with outfielder Brett Gardner for quite some time, and it seems like they might move on from the esteemed veteran. After spending 13 years in pinstripes, Gardner stated last season that he would like to return to the team for one final year to play in front of his family and fans.

However, general manager Brian Cashman is penny-pinching, trying to stay under the $210 million luxury tax threshold. His approach this season has been extremely cautious and cost-efficient, signing starting pitchers to bargain deals coming off significant injuries.
