Failed Yankees Player Thriving
With the season nearly over, it’s worth noting that a former Yankees player is doing well with the Chicago White Sox.
Randal Grichuk has had a very solid year since being let go by New York.
He has been especially good as of late.
With the White Sox, Grichuk is batting .303 with 13 home runs and 36 RBIs in 90 games.
For reference, he batted .194 with no home runs and two RBIs in 16 games for the Yankees.
The Yankees wrote (via X) on May 1: “Today, OF Randal Grichuk elected free agency in lieu of accepting an outright assignment.”
Social Media Buzzing
Here’s what people have been saying:
Sam Phalen: “Randal Grichuk is now 10-for-18 (.556) with an OPS of 1.579 in his last 7 games. He needs to be in the lineup every single day for the #WhiteSox.”
Jon Morosi: “Randal Grichuk helped the @WhiteSox win another game last night, which prompted me to look back at the 2009 @MLB Draft. In the process, I noticed that Zack Wheeler — not Stephen Strasburg — leads pitchers from that 1st round in career @baseball_ref WAR. Credit to the Giants for drafting Wheeler No. 6 overall that year — and to the Mets for acquiring him in exchange for a future Hall of Famer (Carlos Beltrán) on an expiring contract. And yes, Grichuk ranks 2nd only to Mike Trout among 1st rounders that year in HRs and games played.”
Bobby Kay: “I’m putting Grichuk in the lineup every day from here on out. He plays with a chip on his shoulder. Hes a veteran. He’s clutch.”
@xAstaWKx: “Yea it might be time to replace Braden with Grichuk for the final stretch”
