The Trent Grisham issue Yankees fans should be concerned about

New York Yankees center fielder Trent Grisham had a breakout offensive season in 2025, hitting a career-high 34 home runs. The Yankees rewarded him by extending the $23.05 million qualifying offer to the 29-year-old. At the time, many fans argued that it was way too much money for a player who was due for regression. They may have been right. Grisham has 18 homers this season, but his declining ability in the outfield and .211/.307.395 slash line are not impressive for a leadoff hitter. On the surface, Grisham's center field defense is solid. But as FanSided's Rucker Haringey points out, he's having a poor year on the grass. "Grisham used to be a plus outfielder, but his legs have really started to go. That's why he now profiles as one of the slowest center fielders in baseball," Haringey
