Yankees: Will Brett Gardner continue to rake in 2020?
It goes without saying that the Yankees will need to at least somewhat lean on their outfield depth in 2020 as Aaron Hicks will be out with Tommy John surgery.
The Yankees made their first related move on December 12th, bringing back veteran Brett Gardner on a one year, $12.5 million deal with a club option for $10M in 2021. While the 36-year-old veteran is certainly capable of manning center field in 2020, he simply cannot play at his best for a full 162 games. In 2019, Gardner played in 141 games, following his 140 in 2018.
