In 2019, Brett Gardner was asked if he ever considered signing elsewhere. He said he hadn’t because he had heard horror stories of what it was like to play for the Yankees and leave.
He held down the position for Mets teams that lost 109 and 112 games, and for the 1967 Yankees, who finished ninth. Gardner was 20 years old when he set a Mets record that will never be broken.
The New York Yankees' offseason has been a roller coaster of emotions for an anxious fanbase. As suspected, Hal Steinbrenner and Brian Cashman were unable to convince Juan Soto to re-sign.
The Yankees need more in 2025 ... And not to pick on one of them, but is Sauce Gardner still supposed to be on his way to Canton? If you haven’t read any of Lew Berney’s books, you better.
