Trent Grisham

Grisham's first season in New York did not go smoothly, as he slashed a meager .190/.290/.385 over 208 plate appearances. It was the third straight year in which Grisham finished the campaign below the Mendoza Line, and whereas he notched both double-digit homers and double-digit thefts in three of his prior four seasons, he managed just nine homers and one stolen base (on two attempts) in 2024. It may be even more perplexing that his defense seemed to slip a couple notches since that element of his game is largely what earned him playing time in the past. The Yankees lost Juan Soto in the offseason but added Cody Bellinger and seem committed to giving phenom Jasson Dominguez a chance to play every day. As a result, Grisham isn't likely to get more than occasional opportunities as a reserve outfielder and left-handed pinch hitter. Read Past Outlooks
