The Yankees announced that outfielder Randal Grichuk has elected free agency after clearing waivers and refusing an outright assignment. Grichuk, 34, signed a minor league deal with a $2.5MM salary but struggled this season, hitting .194 overall and .227 against left-handed pitchers, leading to his DFA. Despite recent poor performance, he previously showed promise in 2024 with a .291/.348/.528 line. Any team now signing him would only pay a prorated league minimum, making him a potentially cost-effective option.
