00:00All right Yankees fans listen up Trent Grisham he has been one of the best bargains in baseball

00:04this season and now Yankees have got a big time decision to make should they hit him with a

00:09qualifying offer or lock him up with a long-term multi-year deal let's break it down because

00:15Grisham might just be the most underrated story in the Bronx this season at just five million

00:20dollars Trent Grisham has delivered a career year in pinstripes his slash line 248 353 471

00:27he's hit 27 homers 18 of them either tied the game or gave the Yankees the lead and since moving to

00:34the leadoff spot on August 9th he's been heating up batting 284 with a 385 on base percentage and a

00:40552 slugging percentage and let's not forget this guy's a two-time gold glover his defense has been

00:46reliable and his energy has been infectious in that clubhouse for five million that's a straight-up

00:52heist so what's next let's weigh the pros and cons pros he's producing at a high level while still

00:58on the right side of 30 he's fit right into this clubhouse the guys they love him and he's a proven

01:04defender in center field but the cons the Yankees outfield is stacked Aaron Judge Jason Dominguez

01:10maybe Cody Bellinger plus top prospects like Spencer Jones they're knocking at the door and let's be real

01:15Grisham has been inconsistent in the past before this season he hadn't hit over 200 since 2021 his

01:23defensive metrics they've also taken a bit of a hit this year he's no longer the elite defensive force

01:28that he once was so the question is do you pay for this version of Grisham or worry that he actually

01:35might revert to what he once was a qualifying offer next season will likely cost around 21 million dollars

01:41if he takes it it's a one-year roll of the dice if he walks you get a comp pick but his market value

01:47it's rising some insiders believe he can command something in the ballpark of four years 48 million

01:53dollars that's a 12 million dollar average annual value so what should the Yankees do here's my take

01:59be aggressive but be smart offer him a three or four year deal with flexible terms maybe a club option

02:06or mutual buyout lock him in at a reasonable number before his price tag jumps if they don't want to

02:12commit you could throw down that qualifying offer let the market decide either way the Yanks they're in

02:19the driver's seat transcription he's absolutely been a bargain but what happens next could define the

02:25upcoming offseason for the Bronx Bombers
