Randal Grichuk Joins Yankees on Minor League Deal, Aims for World Series Title

Randal Grichuk has signed a minor league deal with the Yankees, expressing his desire to win a World Series title late in his career. He noted the Yankees were aggressive suitors and he's glad how things played out, despite a delayed free agency. Grichuk believes his underlying metrics (barrels, exit velo, swing/miss) suggest a bounce-back year, despite a poor offensive showing last season. He's behind in camp but is a strong candidate for the fourth outfielder spot, especially given his career .268 average and .819 OPS against left-handed pitching, a role he's adjusted to.
