The New York Yankees are actively searching for outfield assistance and have set their sights on Randal Grichuk as a potential solution. Grichuk, currently playing his second season with the Colorado Rockies, has impressed since returning from surgery, boasting a strong batting line of .300/.364/.473 with a 112 weighted runs created plus (wRC+) over 225 plate appearances.
With the impending end of the season, Grichuk’s status as a free agent makes him an attractive rental option for any team. Although it remains unclear which team will be responsible for his approximate $3.89 million salary for the rest of the 2023 season, the Yankees still see him as a cost-effective choice to bolster their outfield lineup.
One advantage of acquiring Grichuk is his versatility in playing all three outfield positions. This flexibility would greatly benefit the Yankees, especially when Aaron Judge returns from injury. Grichuk has previously demonstrated success at Yankee Stadium, boasting an impressive .279/.333/.532 slash line and launching seven home runs in just 120 career plate appearances there.
Meanwhile, the struggling Rockies find themselves open to trading pending free agents like Grichuk, aiming to leverage their assets for future development. However, lingering concerns about Grichuk’s health have recently arisen, as the player has missed a few games due to groin tightness. Nonetheless, the Yankees are continuing to explore the possibility of acquiring Grichuk to reinforce their outfield.
