Sun Mar 27 202210:19Yankees Haven't Made A Run At Brett Gardner
The New York Yankees have yet to make their late annual run at free-agent outfielder Brett Gardner. He filled in nicely last year, but at this point, the Yankees must feel fine with their outfield picture heading into the 2022 season. The Toronto Blue Jays have shown interest in the veteran outfielder, but it's unclear if Gardner has any interest in playing anywhere but the Bronx. The 38-year-old said in February that he intended to play another season, but with less than two weeks to go until Opening Day, he remains a free agent. Even if he signs with a team this year, he'll most likely be a bench bat with very little fantasy upside. Gardner hit .222/.327/.362 with 10 homers and 39 RBI in 140 games for the Yanks last year.

Wed Mar 23 202212:52Blue Jays Check In With Brett Gardner
The Toronto Blue Jays have checked in on free-agent outfielder Brett Gardner. At this point, it's become unlikely that Gardner returns to the New York Yankees after spending the last 14 seasons in the Bronx. The 38-year-old hit just .222/.327/.362 with 10 home runs, 39 RBI and 47 runs scored in 461 plate appearances over 140 games with the Yankees last season. If New York doesn't want him back, there's a chance that he'll just hang up his cleats as well. If Gardner lands in Toronto, he'd strictly be a bench option for a stacked Jays roster and would have very little fantasy appeal.

Sat Feb 26 202211:50Brett Gardner Intends To Play In 2022
Free-agent outfielder Brett Gardner intends to play in 2022, according to his long-time agent, Joe Bick. Bick also said that Gardner would prefer to stay with the New York Yankees for the rest of his career. If Gardner were to return to the Bronx and play in 102 games this year, he would pass Willie Randolph, Joe DiMaggio, Don Mattingly and Bill Dickey for ninth place all-time in games played for the franchise. The 38-year-old veteran hit just .222/.327/.362 with 10 home runs and 39 RBI in 140 games last year, and he's mostly a bench bat/injury replacement at this point in his career. Despite a rough 2021 season, Gardner hit .261/.351/.441 with a .791 OPS from Aug. 1 through the end of the year.

Thu Nov 4 202121:49Brett Gardner Becomes A Free Agent
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner declined his $2.3 million player option on Thursday, and the Yankees declined his team option for $7.5 million, which makes him a free agent this winter. Gardner will receive a $1.15 million buyout after making $1.85 million this year. The 38-year-old outfielder hit just .222/.327/.362 with 10 home runs and 39 RBI in 140 games in 2021, and he will contemplate his future with his family during the offseason. Relief pitcher Darren O'Day also declined his $1.4 million player option and took a $700,000 buyout. If Gardner does not retire, he has interest in re-signing with the Yankees as a veteran bench bat and outfielder.

Thu Sep 16 202112:17Brett Gardner Stays Hot In Wednesday's Win
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Orioles Wednesday. Gardner was busy at the dish, singling ad scoring in the third innings, then later driving in a pair with another base hit. The veteran outfielder is batting .325 with two homers, two doubles, a triple, eight RBI, and six runs scored in 40 at-bats in September. He can't be trusted in season-long formats but is a sneaky-good DFS play while he's hitting this well for New York.

Thu Sep 9 202112:14Brett Gardner Clubs Three-Run Homer
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Blue Jays. Gardner supplied all of the offense for New York, hitting a 408-foot homer in the fifth inning to tie the game at three. The veteran outfielder has had some fleeting moments in fantasy this year, though his overall .217/.330/.337 slash line leaves a lot to be desired. Gardner is best avoided in all fantasy formats at this point in his career.

Sat Aug 21 202111:32Brett Gardner Sitting Out On Saturday
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner (soreness) is out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Twins. He is reportedly dealing with soreness after getting hit by a pitch on Friday. The team is going to be cautious here and give Gardner the day off. Estevan Florial has been recalled from the minors to take over for Gardner on Saturday. Florial is joining the roster, but Tyler Wade will cover left field and bat ninth versus righty Kenta Maeda on Saturday. There is no streaming upside or DFS value from Wade.

Tue Aug 10 202110:43Brett Gardner Drives In Season-High Three Runs
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 2-for-4 with two walks, a pair of singles, and three RBI in Monday's extra-innings win over the Royals. Gardner was shifted to the leadoff spot ahead of the game, but found himself in several run-producing situations, twice extending the Yankee lead with an RBI single in the 10th, then a two-run, infield single in the 11th. The veteran has quietly put together a strong start to August, as he's batting .350- including a current four-game hitting streak- with four RBI, three runs scored, and a 4:6 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

Sat Aug 7 202100:15Brett Gardner Delivers Game-Winning Hit, Scores Pair Of Runs
New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and an RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Mariners. Gardner entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, drawing a walk, then scoring the Yankees' first run of the game on an Aaron Judge sacrifice fly. He later played hero for New York, delivering a walk-off hit in the 11th frame. Gardner has seen more playing time than expected due to injuries, but has still disappointed this season with a .199/.319/.305 slash line, leaving him firmly off the fantasy radar.

Thu Jul 29 202122:44Not left out: Yankees get big lefty bats with Gallo, Rizzo
NEW YORK (AP) — Desperate for a powerful, left-handed bat to park balls in the short porch at Yankee Stadium, the New York Yankees got two of them. Hours after announcing their trade to acquire All-Star slugger Joey Gallo from Texas, the playoff-chasing Yankees worked out a deal for longtime Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo on Thursday. The swaps came on a day the Yankees lost at Tampa Bay 14-0, leaving them far behind Boston in the AL East and fourth in the chase for two wild-card spots. Team officials, including owner Hal Steinbrenner and general manager Brian Cashman, have been holding meetings in nearby Tampa, Florida. “Part of the reason I’m here is because Hal always goes for it, and so does Brian,” Yankees ace Gerrit Cole said after the lopsided loss. “Continue to push chips in. I trust that they’re going to do what’s best for the organization, what’s best to win. I trust they’re going to try and make us better one way or another, and they did.” The Yankees made the moves...

Thu Jul 29 202118:45Left turn: Boone says Yankees 'a lot better' with Gallo
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Yankees have answered questions about how they would proceed heading into Friday's trade deadline. They are big-time buyers. All-Star slugger Joey Gallo's trade to New York from the Texas Rangers was completed Thursday, giving the heavily right-handed Yankees a much-needed powerful lefty bat. New York acquired Gallo and left-hander Joely Rodriguez from the Rangers for minor league right-hander Glenn Otto and infielders Ezequiel Duran, Trevor Hauver and Josh Smith. The Yankees will receive $2,722,865 from the Rangers plus another $500,000 in January that is conditioned on Rodriguez’ 2022 option buyout being paid. With switch-hitting center fielder Aaron Hicks hurt, second baseman Rougned Odor and outfielder Brett Gardner have been the only left-handed hitters to see substantial playing time. “Sign me up for the guy that’s on base almost 40% of the time and has power and provides the kind of potential balance for our lineup,” Boone said before New York lost...

Thu Jul 29 202111:54Manager Aaron Boone says Yankees 'a lot better' with Gallo
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — New York manager Aaron Boone on Thursday confirmed that the Yankees have acquired All-Star slugger Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers. Gallo gives the heavily right-handed Yankees a much-needed powerful lefty bat. With switch-hitting center fielder Aaron Hicks hurt, second baseman Rougned Odor and outfielder Brett Gardner have been the only left-handed hitters to see substantial playing time. “I think we’re a lot better today,” Boone said before the Yankees played Tampa Bay.

While he has played right field for Texas, Boone envisions Bruce playing a lot in left for the Yankees, who have Aaron Judge as their regular right fielder. “We’re excited to add an All-Star,” Boone said. Gallo is owed $2.2 million from his $6.2 million salary. He is eligible for arbitration next winter and can became a free agent after the 2022 season. The two-time All-Star is a career .211 hitter in seven seasons, but launches a lot of longballs. He hit 41 home runs in 2017 and 40 in 2018. The Yankees began the day 8 1/2 games behind Boston in the AL East and trailing Tampa Bay, Oakland and Seattle in the wild-card race for two spots. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
Thu Jul 29 202100:14AP source: Yanks reach deal to get slugger Gallo from Texas
All-Star slugger Joey Gallo is headed to the Bronx to give the New York Yankees some much-needed punch from the left side. The Yankees have reached a deal to get Gallo from the Texas Rangers, a person familiar with the trade told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the move had not yet been announced and was subject to approval of medical records of the players involved. “Wow, a guy that can hit it out of any ball park. I don’t think he gets enough credit for the type of defense that he plays,” Aaron Judge said after the Yankees won 3-1 in 10 innings at Tampa Bay. “Also, just talking with Rougy and a couple guys that have played with him, man, what a guy that you want in you clubhouse, a guy that shows up everyday ready to play. He’s going to fight until the very end. If that’s true and it comes true that we get him, I think it’s going to be something special for our team," he said.
