Grisham, Yankees avoid arbitration with one-year deal (source) The Yankees and outfielder Trent Grisham have agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with up to $250,000 in incentives to avoid arbitrati...
Settles at $5 million Grisham agreed to a one-year, $5 million contract with the Yankees on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Grisham signed a one-year deal with the Yankees in January after spending the last four seasons with the Padres. He appeared in just 76 regular-season games in 2024 while serving in a depth role in the outfield behind Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, and Grisham finished with a slash line of .190/.290/.385 with nine home runs and 31 RBI over 208 plate appearances. Grisham could see more playing time in 2025 if Soto and/or Verdugo opt to take their talents elsewhere in free agency.

Laces two-run shot Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's win over Pittsburgh.
Impact Following Gleyber Torres' leadoff double in the first, Grisham took the first pitch he saw from Bailey Falter deep for his ninth home run of the season. Grisham later drove in Jose Trevino in the third inning with an RBI single, giving him five games this season with three-plus RBI. After playing 130 or more games each of the last three seasons, Grisham played in just 76 in his first season with the Yankees. The 27-year-old finishes the season with a disappointing .190/.290/.385 slash line, nine home runs, 31 RBI, 21 runs scored and one stolen base.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Grand slam off bench Grisham hit a grand slam in his lone at-bat in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Rangers.
Impact Grisham entered the game as a defensive replacement when the Yankees were down 10-2. He came up with a big slam in the ninth inning, but the Yankees didn't build off of it. Grisham has functioned as a fourth outfielder lately and hadn't collected a hit since Aug. 14. He's slashing a paltry .187/.294/.380 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 20 runs scored and one stolen base over 195 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Back in action Wednesday Grisham (hand) will start in center field and bat sixth Wednesday against the White Sox.
Impact Grisham hasn't played since he was hit in the hand by a pitch during the first game of Saturday's twin bill versus the Rangers, but he'll now return to the starting nine after a few days of rest. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .179/.304/.359 across 47 plate appearances since the All-Star break, though he has tallied a hit in three of his last four games.
AUGUST 14 • ROTOWIRE
Suffers bruised hand X-rays on Grisham's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during the first game of Saturday's doubleheader versus Texas.
Impact Grisham had to make an early exit from the game after getting hit, but he appears to have escaped the incident with just a bruise. There's a good chance New York keeps him on the bench for Saturday's nightcap, though a trip to the IL shouldn't be necessary.
AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE
Exits after HBP Grisham was removed from the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Rangers after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Grisham remained in the game to run the bases after taking a 96-mph fastball off his hand, but he was replaced in the field once the Yankees' went out on defense. The 27-year-old outfielder will likely sit out Saturday's nightcap due to the incident, but his availability for Sunday's game is unclear.
AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE
Goes deep in victory Saturday Grisham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 8-3 win against the Blue Jays.
Impact Grisham got his first start of August and took advantage with a two-run shot in the second inning. The outfielder played regularly throughout most of July but has returned to a reserve role with Jazz Chisholm acquired by the Yankees at the trade deadline and with Giancarlo Stanton activated from the injured list Monday. Grisham has made just two starts over New York's past six contests.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Set to lose playing time Grisham is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
Impact Grisham had served as a regular starter against right-handed pitching for the past month, but his playing time should begin trending down after Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Monday. With Stanton set to take over as the Yankees' everyday designated hitter, Aaron Judge is expected to serve as the club's primary option in center field, leaving no spot available for Grisham.
JULY 29 • ROTOWIRE
Out vs. LHP in second straight game Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact Though he's settled into a near-everyday role in the Yankees outfield since Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) was placed on the injured list June 23, the lefty-hitting Grisham is still being shielded from lefties. He's logged just 27 plate appearances against southpaws this season, slashing .200/.259/.240 (47 wRC+). After sitting against Mets lefty Jose Quintana in Tuesday's 3-2 loss, Grisham will remain on the bench against southpaw Sean Manaea in the series finale.
JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Perfect at plate, homers Grisham went 3-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs Sunday against the Orioles.
Impact Grisham drove in the Yankees' first run with a second-inning single, then touched up Orioles' starter Dean Kremer in the fifth for his sixth homer of the year. In total, Grisham collected three hits for the first time this season and reached base in all four plate appearances, raising his average from .173 to .195 in the process. He enters the All-Star break slashing .195/.301/.389 with six homers, 19 RBI and 15 runs over 133 plate appearances.

Sitting against lefty Wednesday Grisham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.
Impact After cracking the starting lineup Sunday against Atlanta in the Yankees' first game following Giancarlo Stanton's (hamstring) move to the injured list, Grisham has now hit the bench for both contests against the Mets. The Yankees have faced left-handed starters for both matchups with the Mets, which may be the primary reason the lefty-hitting Grisham has been out of the lineup. Grisham could occupy the larger side of a de facto platoon with the right-handed-hitting J.D. Davis for the final open spot in the New York lineup while Stanton is on the shelf.

Pops homer off bench Grisham went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
Impact Grisham has gone 5-for-23 over 11 games in June, with three of those hits being homers. The outfielder has functioned in a reserve role for much of the season, and he's done little to deserve anything more than that. The 27-year-old is slashing a paltry .113/.263/.306 with four homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases through 76 plate appearances. Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is set to miss time after exiting Saturday's game, but it's unclear if Grisham will see much of an uptick in playing time.
