Yankees, Brett Gardner Still Negotiating Contract

By Jeff Todd | December 6, 2019 at 4:50pm CDT

The Yankees are still working with outfielder Brett Gardner on a new contract, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports on Twitter. It seems the expectation remains that he’ll stay in pinstripes.

The sides have been chatting about a new contract for some time now, but it doesn’t appear as if any doubt has arisen as to their mutual intentions. Per Heyman, the Yanks have put another offer on the table to Gardner and his reps.

It’s unknown what kind of price points are being haggled over. Gardner earned $7.5MM last year and hasn’t taken home a single-season salary of over $13.5MM during his dozen years in New York. It’s tough to imagine a new contract departing from that range.

While Gardner is now 36 years of age, he popped a career-high 28 long balls last year. Though he wasn’t alone amidst a leaguewide power outburst, he was productive as compared to the league mean and his own established track record. Gardner’s 115 wRC+ represented a full-season high-water mark. He remains a highly capable baserunner and outfielder as well.

The Yanks got exceptional value on their money last year and figure to do so again. Whether Gardner is interested in multiple years isn’t known, but it stands to reason he’d be able to command two-year offers from other teams. The steady veteran has appeared in at least 140 games in every season since his washed-out 2012. He graded out as the 32nd player on MLBTR’s Top 50 free agent rankings.

        He would have only hit 12-14 HRs with Boston. Over 1/2 his HRs were one or two rows deep in RF and Yankee Stadium which wouldn’t even reach the warning track in Fenway (380).

          Um, the Pesky Pole at Fenway resulted in the shortest home run of the season as I recall. I watched it live, hit by Benintendi off CC Sabathia. Gardner could hit more to right than first meets the eye. People like to say Yankee Stadium is hitter-friendly, but time and again Fenway Park is ranked much higher on the lists

        His comment is not outlandish, even if his proposal is indeed a bit excessive.

        If Gardner signs a one-year, $8m deal, it will be nothing more than letting the Yankees take advantage of him. They gave a same-aged JA Happ two years and $34m to not even start in the playoffs for them (and barely appear in relief, even.)

        I bet some teams (Reds, Phillies, Braves, Mets, Giants) would give him a two-year deal for something like $17m. If so he should jump on it, shouldn’t let Yanks take advantage of him while watching them pay the like of Ellsbury and Happ.

        The only reason why he might put up with it is to keep the relationship pristine for future studio work. But I think if he left for a much better deal he would still be welcomed back so that’s moot.

          Your comment is preposterous. Only the Phillies and Braves have a chance of “sniffing the postseason at all”? Really? Because I’m fairly certain the Braves ran away with the NL East, and the Mets were in it until the last 10 days of the season.

          The Braves are going to win that division for a long time, barring major upgrades to both the Phillies and Mets. No, Wheeler is not a major upgrade for the Phillies even though he does add wins to the Phils by taking them away from the Mets. The Phillies are not one pitcher away from contending, and the Mets are arguably closer based solely on the fact that they have deGrom, Thor and Stroman as their 1-3.

          Your theory is..the…..Yanks are paying Ellsbury this and Happ for that and they had horrible seasons and paid more than what they might offer Gardner. Do you REALLY think the Yanks paid expecting the poor results they put in? Not a smart way of looking at things. Yanks obviously expected a higher level from both Ellsbury and Happ coming off of the seasons they had at the time they were FA. Poor comparison.

        “Dude go home”?? I must be missing something. How is a two year deal for a solid cf who hit 28 dingers and 4.0 war last year outlandish? Brett Gardner has done more for the Yankees in the last 4 years than what Giancarlo will ever do, pennies on the dollar. Fair market price is certainly around $10m.

        4.0 WAR is worth roughly $7MM per WAR. That’s $28MM. So Freedue Morales is right to be thinking it’ll be $10+ MM.

      Then the Yankees have to let him walk. 36 years old and game predicated on speed. He is a leader, but can’t lead when skills erode and we are close to that happening. Father time is undefeated and Barry Bond’s methods are frowned upon now.

    His OPS+ over the last 4 years are 92, 104, 89, and 117. That 117 was with the juiced baseball. He’ll be 37 next season and considering those items he presents a good amount of risk. My concern is that if the Yankees sign him it will end up being an overpay.

    The flip side is that with Hicks out the only other CF’s for the Yankees are Tauchman and Granite. And unless the Yankees can find a way to trade for Marte there just aren’t many good center fielders in MLB these days let alone ones that are available.

    In the end, the Yankees probably sign him by default. Let’s hope if they add a second year it’s a team option.

      OPS+ is not a tell all stat, especially for a player of Gardner’s ilk. His job is to get on base, score runs, disrupt defenses with his speed and play an excellent CF or LF, which he does. Slugging pct, i.e. extra base hits, are gravy for Gardner. The guy is the heart and soul of the team and he really hasn’t lost a step in regards to his speed. He keeps himself in excellent shape.

      Has anybody on this site ever played competitive baseball? There’s more to the value of a player than statistics that most of you don’t even truly understand anyway. Smh.

    I would assume a trade or two is coming to clear room on the 40 man. The Yanks will sign, Gardner, hopefully Cole, and still need one bullpen arm and a backup catcher. So which 4 Yanks do you think are gonna get traded?

      I’m not a huge fan of his, but this is a statement that lacks a basis in fact. Gardner has played 12 years, 41,.6 WAR, which places him 17th on the active list. No, he’s not a star, and no, I wouldn’t break the bank for him, but ask a GM whether they would have drafted someone like that. Don’t bury the guy just because he played for the Yankees.

        Louie…your obsession with gardner is very odd and concerning . Did he sleep with your mother or your wife?

        Its really odd how someone can hate a career 42 WAR player so much.

    I honestly believe that Brett Gardner was on steroids last year. The fits in the dugout are signs of roid rage. At age 36 he’s has put up his best season of all time at age 36!? There has been some talk of a juiced ball last year and you add that in with steroids I think you all see the big picture.

    I honestly wanted them to walk away from Brett last year. but look what he did but was is legit I don’t think so.

    Yankees should walk and walk away far and now from this guy I see a huge dip in number this year and the man goes blank in the post season. If he signs look for a below 220 batting average.

    Last year they should have walked away from CC but they did not.
    They need to walk away from this one sorry..

    If your going to put up numbers put up his numbers in the post season as well.

    Thank you come again.

      Dumb comment. If Gardy was on roids, everyone is. Can easily make a better case for Big Papi being on roids his cartoonish Age 40 season–on notoriously bad feet no less–than for Gardy last year.

        Why comment? Move on. I hate him only because he’s not on the Red Sox. Most teams would drool drafting a player who ends up with his career, warts and all.

      @Louiebeans

      You see Louie, you’re guilty of thinking you’re the smartest guy in the room. If your sole reason for getting rid of Gardner is that he’s good over 162 game season but bad in a 4 game series or a series of series then have that same energy for guys in the 2019 post-season like Judge who had a .681 OPS in the ALCS. Of course you wouldn’t do it. What a guy does over 162 games matters. You want them to excel in the post-season too but you can’t sign ANY player and feel like they are a shoe in for superior post-season success.

      The fact you can’t appreciate Gardner for holding down LF/CF duties when Frazier struggled and Hicks was injured and produced a 3.6 WAR , which whether you like to admit or not, ranked 17th among fWAr shows your bias. He had a great year for a guy on a $7.5 mil. He outperformed a WHOLE lot of “star” players. In no way shape or form is anyone suggesting he’s a star.

      And as for CC, I can’t understand how you don’t understand that CC was an absolute steal in 2018. He had a 3.65/.4.15 ERA/FIP, 150 IP and a 2.2 WAR which ranked him 56th overall. That was for being a 5th STARTER making 1/$10 mil.. There are 30 teams with 5 rotation spots. CC ranked among the top 30th. You’re acting like he was being paid $30 mil to be an ace. He was likely, one of the best 5th starters in baseball. Cashman would’ve been a moron to NOT bringing him back in 2019….again, to be a 5th starter!!!!!

      The wheels finally fell off in 2019 so he retired. Get over it. You complain about the 2018 version of CC as if he was meant to be a #1 starter as opposed to the 5th starter he was brought in to be. You’re acting as if the Yanks chose CC over a top of rotation starter. That was clearly not the case.

      Severino/Paxton/Happ-Tanaka/CC

      We struggled last year because Severino was injured, Happ was a complete failure and Paxton and Tanaka were inconsistent during the regular season. CC certainly failed too but he failed at being a #5 not failed to be a #1-3.

      I would generally agree but we need help in CF until Hicks gets back and there really aren’t any better options out there. That being said I hope it’s a one year pact.

    As a Yankees fan I have two issues with him. First his age obviously second his throwing arm. I would not go more than one year if he is demanding to let him walk.

      Yanks would have to sign Romine and trade him to the Pirates. They don’t currently have a catcher to trade. Not sure the Pirates would want to spend what Romine might cost.

      It won’t happen. Pirates are looking for a catcher prospect. Any trade for Marte would require at minimum, a Double A catcher on the verge of promotion.

    Why not get creative here for both sides:

    2 year deal, 2020 has a 8m salary, 2021 has a 4m player option with a 1m buyout.

    Gardner gets a small bump on last year and realistically will make 9m. Yanks get a small discount on cbt AAV only being charged 6m.

    Ok, play with the numbers 500 here or there, but basically that framework. It’s an opt out wink nod you know he takes, but they get a little tax room wiggling which has to be the only sticking point on not already having a deal.

    If the Yankees design Gardner it just proves zero commitment to winning. Yankees shouldn’t keep him even if he offered to play for free. Guy is straight trash.

    Time once again to move on. Gardy struck out 15 times in 34 post season AB last year with a -4 WPA. He was no better than that in 2017 and 2018

    we don’t need him to get to October and he sucks horribly in October. As for guys like SBB and Beg who will talk about how great his regular season was in a live ball season- it 100% doesn’t matter. Most of his dingers come against Baltimore and the like… if you had swapped out adam jones and his 3 mil salary for Gardy and his 10 Mil salary do you think the yanks would have missed the playoffs???? (although this only matters b/c hal sets a budget and cash can’t win on 235 million a year)

    In his entire post season career with 184 ABs he has 2 HRs….. and that includes all those good years in his 20s. his career post season is .196 with an ops of .511. yikes… He is one of the leaders of the October Dead Bats Society.

    its just time to move on.

      Louie to be clear though. I respect him, he’s been a really good yankee and if money were absolutely no option I’d be fine signing him for the regular season for 300 ABs.

      What i object to is him as an everyday center fielder all season and the post season…

        The problem with Gardner I have is he’s gets more then 300 abs every year. Every year he’s signed as a 4th outfielder and then playing almost 162 games. I don’t wanna see him in the post season every no matter what. If they sign him it’s the same thing over and over and over to many abs and dead silence in the ps.

      More and more people are starting to have the same view as me. Signing this guy will be another like CC was last year. Gardner does not improve your chances of winning a WS and what’s he going to do bat last?

      So you mean to tell me the Yankees are in dire need for a 9th place hitter?
