Yankees finalize deals for Brett Gardner, Justin Wilson

Brett Gardner and the New York Yankees have finalized a $5.15 million, one-year contract for the outfielder to return for a 14th season

FEBRUARY 23, 2021 • Associated Press

Designated for assignment Allen was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Tuesday.

Impact Allen will be the roster casualty as the Yankees add new signee Justin Wilson to the roster. Allen was never likely to be anything more than a bench option, as he's hit .239/.298/.343 in 221 career MLB games and hasn't graded out well in center field despite good speed. Whether or not that's an attractive enough package to convince another team to claim him off waivers remains to be seen.

Yankees get OF Greg Allen from Padres for lefty James Reeves

Switch-hitting outfielder Greg Allen has been acquired by the New York Yankees from the San Diego Padres for left-hander James Reeves

JANUARY 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Swipes bag in Padres debut Allen went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks, a hit-by-pitch, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Angels.

Impact Allen started the game in right field and batted ninth in his first game with San Diego. He wasted little time showing off his 92nd-percentile sprint speed, swiping second base after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning. Allen should eventually settle into a reserve role, but he could get regular starts for as long as Wil Myers (undisclosed) remains on the injured list.

Included in Clevinger deal Allen was traded from Cleveland to San Diego on Monday, along with Mike Clevinger and a player to be named later, with six players heading the opposite way, Ken Rosenthal of The At...

Impact Clevinger is clearly the headliner here, with Cleveland adding Allen from its deep stable of outfielders as seemingly little more than a throw-in. The San Diego native has good speed, stealing 31 bases in 220 career games, but that hasn't actually translated to positive marks defensively in center field. Even if he were a better defender in center, his .239/.295/.344 career slash line would keep him firmly in a bench role. He's unlikely to be in the lineup on a regular basis for his new team.

Blasts first homer in loss Allen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and two strikeouts in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.

Impact Allen hasn't generated much production at the plate this season, but he took advantage of Joe Jimenez's recent struggles with his first home run of the season in the ninth inning Sunday. After going hitless in nine at-bats to begin the season, Allen has now logged hits in back-to-back contests with one stolen base.

AUGUST 19, 2020 • Associated Press

Sent to alternate site Allen was optioned to Cleveland's alternate training site Thursday.

Impact He has played sparingly thus far but is hitless with four strikeouts in eight at-bats. Allen will continue to play out his depth role for Cleveland, but he may be running out of opportunities to carve out a long-term role with this club.
