Mets Set to Acquire Another Yankees Outfielder
The New York Mets are once again eyeing an outfielder from the New York Yankees. Following last season’s acquisition of Juan Soto, the Mets may target Trent Grisham this offseason.
Mets’ Interest in Trent Grisham
As the offseason approaches, Trent Grisham is set to enter free agency after a standout performance in 2025. He hit a career-high 34 home runs, a significant increase over his previous best. Grisham’s offensive skills also improved, leading to personal records in RBIs, on-base plus slugging (OPS), and wins above replacement (bWAR).
Free Agency Outlook
Mark Feinsand from MLB.com highlights that Grisham is one of the top available players this winter. He is ranked as the No. 13 free agent, drawing interest from teams including the Mets, Texas Rangers, and Kansas City Royals.
- Career Statistics:
- Home Runs: 34
- RBIs: 74
- OPS: .811
- OPS+: 125
- Walk Percentage: 96th percentile
- Chase Percentage: 99th percentile
- bWAR: 3.5
Grisham played a pivotal role for the Yankees, particularly after the trade that brought Soto to the team. He replaced Soto’s production effectively, showcasing his talent during the season.
The Future for Grisham
With Cody Bellinger expected to opt-out of his contract, the Yankees may have a gap to fill in their outfield. Grisham’s potential move to the Mets could further intensify the rivalry between the two teams.
As teams prepare for the upcoming season, keep an eye on Grisham’s free agency status. The Mets seem poised to make another significant move in their lineup.
