Struggling Yankee Making Over $20 Million
While Grisham had a solid night, he has been struggling this season.
The two-time Gold Glove winner is batting .169 with 26 hits, six home runs, 27 RBI’s, 27 runs and three stolen bases in 48 games.
With the season well underway, it’s worth noting that the Yankees are paying the 29-year-old over $22 million this year.
