Former Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner refused to join the Toronto Blue Jays this off-season when they offered him a lucrative one-year contract. The deal is worth $6 million. Why did Brett Gardner turn down the deal?
It could be that he wanted to finish his career with the Yankees. The problem is that the Yankees weren’t offering him that kind of money. The Blue Jays, on the other hand, we’re willing to make him a starter. Atlanta Braves also expressed interest in pursuing him, but he declined. Gardner is 38 years old, and we don’t know how his future holds in the majors. I’m having difficulty believing that the Yankees will bring him back for one last ride.
