Yankees' $5 million outfielder will likely leave New York in 2026
The 28-year-old outfielder has been a surprise to the Yankees, hitting 19 home runs with 43 RBI and a .250 batting average in 93 games.
Last season, Grisham appeared in 76 games for New York, hitting only nine home runs with a .190 batting average. This year is a lot better.
Even though Grisham is having a great season in the Bronx, he will enter free agency this offseason, and Stephen Parello from Fansided thinks it will be difficult for the Yankees to sign Grisham back.
It's been a wild ride for Trent Grisham in the Bronx. Originally a throw-in in the Juan Soto deal, he underwhelmed greatly as the Yankees' primary outfield reserve in 2024," Parell wrote. "That led to rumblings he'd be a prime DFA candidate this past offseason, but instead he survived ... and blossomed. Grisham's exceptional performance this year actually put his name in the deadline crosshairs, as dealing him seemed to be an option for the Yankees to leverage their outfield surplus to address other roster deficiencies. That didn't come to fruition, but that doesn't mean Grisham will be back in New York next season. Along with fellow outfielder Cody Bellinger, Grisham will hit free agency at season's end. The Yankees will likely only try to bring one of them back, and Bellinger has the leg up due to a longer track record and more versatility. Further complicating matters for Grisham is the presence of top prospect Spencer Jones, who reached near-untouchable status in deadline talks and whose otherworldly performance for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre means he soon will break down the door to the big leagues. That, unfortunately, will leave no room for a Grisham return."Like Parello stated, the Yankees will have to make a move on Bellinger's contract, and they would likely bring him back before Grisham.
The good news for Grisham is that he should be able to get a nice pay elsewhere due to the great season he is having.

What will Arch do? Why Arch Manning's next move could reshape both college football and the NFL
More than 50 years ago, Archie Manning, then a junior at Ole Miss, knocked the college football world sideways. On an October evening in 1969, Manning strode into Birmingham, Alabama, and proceeded to throw for 436 yards and two touchdowns and rush for three more against Bear Bryant and mighty Alabama. Ole Miss lost by a point, but delivered an unmistakable message. This week, Archie Manning, now the patriarch of the nation's finest quarterback dynasty, knocked the college football world sideways again … and this time, for good measure, he put the NFL's bottom-feeders on skates, too. In an interview with Texas Monthly for a feature focusing on his grandson Arch, the elder Manning delivered a sledgehammer declaration about the potential for Arch to declare for the 2026 NFL Draft after this college football season: 'Arch isn't going to do that. He'll be at Texas.' [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] That sound you just heard was Texas exploding in celebration … and New Orleans deflating in despair. Before we go any further, some stipulations: Arch Manning, now entering his third season in Austin, has thrown fewer than 100 college passes for fewer than 1,000 total yards. For all the hype that swirls around Manning — whether because of his Heisman-frontrunner status, the playoff-worthy program around him, or his famous surname — he's still very much an unknown quantity. That hasn't stopped frothing fans and media from tabbing Manning and the Longhorns as preseason favorites to win the SEC and challenge for the national championship. It's the natural result of a college football season with no clear favorite, a rejuvenated fanbase that finally has the talent to justify its perpetual arrogance, and a quarterback with Lombardi trophies in his bloodline. With its bottomless war chest and a cinematic, Steve Sarkisian-crafted identity, Texas has now elbowed its way to the top rungs of the college football hierarchy. Considering how quickly portal-inspired turnover can happen and champions can tumble right out of the playoffs — see: Michigan and Alabama — having a sure thing under center for two years is as close as college football gets to a sure bet. Plus, there are Sundays to consider. Manning's unique blend of arm talent, potential, hype and lineage has already sent NFL front offices buzzing. Think New Orleans would like another Manning to suit up for them once again, 55 years after his grandfather did? Think Cleveland would like to sign a quarterback whose off-field drama is actually good news? Think the Rams would like a succession plan after Matthew Stafford, or the Colts would like a Plan B, or … you get the idea. Any potential 'Awful for Arch' campaign would be almost certainly doomed for a range of reasons … but you know that there are flailing NFL GMs out there who are wondering if a run at getting a Manning on the roster would buy them an extra year or two of employment. All of these factors combine to make Arch Manning's decision to turn pro one of the most consequential questions in recent football history. It's true that one player doesn't make a football team, but it's also true that quarterbacks, especially elite quarterbacks, aren't just another player. The wise long-term move would be for Arch to follow his grandfather's declaration and stay in the draft for another year. Money — while probably not an issue anyway for a Manning — is still flowing into his accounts thanks to NIL deals. Both of his famous uncles stayed in school all four years, Peyton at Tennessee and Eli at Ole Miss, both finished high in Heisman voting, both were picked No. 1 in their respective drafts and both went on to earn a quarter billion as pros. The NFL's not going anywhere, and another year of seasoning under Sarkisian could only help Arch Manning's long-term football prospects. Now, if Arch balls out this season, ascends to his final collegiate form, and wins a national championship and a Heisman, well … the calculus changes. But that's very much an if, rather than a when, and a whole lot of programs will be very motivated to ensure that doesn't happen. While the football world waits for Arch Manning to make a decision, both the college football and NFL worlds need to plan for both contingencies. Imagine if you need to game-plan for an Arch-led Texas for the next two years. Worse, imagine if you end up with the first pick in the NFL draft … and Arch ends up staying in school. Arch Manning hasn't even taken a snap this season, and we're all wondering where he'll be next. That's what you get when you have the power to reshape football on two fronts.

2025 NFL betting preview: Favorite bets for NFL Coach of the Year
Picking the NFL Coach of the Year isn't actually that hard. Well, at least compared to betting markets involving players. The extensive offerings require evaluation of dozens of players, whose production hinges on usage, play-calling, injuries and other factors. Meanwhile, we can rule out roughly half of the NFL's head coaches — those with no chance of winning the award. Not because they've done anything wrong, but, in many cases, they've done so much right expectations are already too high. What could Andy Reid, Nick Sirianni and John Harbaugh's teams do to make voters believe it was the coach who should get the most credit? Sure enough, that answer is so convoluted with hypotheticals that the three favorites to win Super Bowl LX are lined up at the bottom of the oddsboard for Coach of the Year. What does it take to win? The key word is expectations — the X-factor built into the calculus for this betting market. The winner needs to overcome some negative elements on the way to team success, while not being overshadowed by the outstanding play of one of his players. Example: Quarterback Jayden Daniels' excellence last season took away just enough credit from the job Dan Quinn did in his first season with Washington. Here are my favorite bets for NFL Coach of the Year at BetMGM: Pete Carroll, Las Vegas Raiders (15-1) The betting market is already aware of the hurdles that many teams face, giving their head coach the inside track at exceeding expectations. Unsurprisingly, new coaches like Ben Johnson, Mike Vrabel, Liam Coen and Aaron Glenn are the top choices in the market, since the reason they are first-year coaches is because things went so badly last season that the predecessors were fired. While each should be improved, the trick is that the Bears, Patriots, Jaguars or Jets would need to make the playoffs for their head coach to win the award, since history says that's something of a prerequisite. The Bears could show promise and still be the fourth-best team in their division, while making the playoffs in the AFC means usurping one of the Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, Bills, Ravens, Texans and Steelers — the first six of which are favored to return to the postseason. It doesn't help the Jaguars or Jets that very little has changed from a personnel perspective, while a Patriots' playoff run likely comes with Drake Maye taking something of a leap. Meanwhile, the Raiders have a combination of low expectations (a win total of 6.5), and a veteran quarterback in Geno Smith who is good enough to affect change while not challenging for a prestigious award. Dave Canales, Carolina Panthers (16-1) Kevin O'Connell was a predictable winner last season because he was an offensive coach with a playoff team who just needed to guide Sam Darnold into enough production to replace Kirk Cousins. It was a prime case of providing voters an answer to the question, 'What did you do?' when evaluating each candidate's coaching job. Like looking at last year's record, it's human nature for voters to factor in work that might have begun before this season. Canales got hired by the Panthers in 2024 because of his work with Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay, and we've already seen some development in Bryce Young, as the 2023 No. 1 pick accounted for 20 touchdowns to just five interceptions after being benched early last season. The narrative might be that Canales is 'coaching up' Young — a player talented enough to also have won a Heisman Trophy. While the NFC is just as competitive as the AFC in regard to its seven playoff spots, the way to sneak into the postseason as a dark horse may come from winning the NFC South. Instead of backing Carolina to steal the division at around 4-to-1, if Canales gets even more out of Young, and the Panthers skip past the Falcons and Buccaneers, he'll be hard to beat for Coach of the Year. Even if it's close, with Canales' 14-to-1 odds providing a much better payout, that's enough to make it an avenue worth taking. Kyle Shanahan, San Francisco 49ers (20-1) The other way to win Coach of the Year is to make the leap from pretender to contender, while posting an outstanding record. For many years during his tenure, Shanahan's success came with the caveat that he had a loaded roster on both sides of the ball, and, as a result, he didn't win the award. This year, the 49ers are coming off a season in which they missed the playoffs and have lost some big names, so the human beings voting for this award might be pleasantly surprised if the Niners win 13 or 14 games after a six-win season. Luckily, as bettors, we're aware the betting market has San Francisco projected for 10 wins — so in reality, the probability of a big season is more like a mild hop than a huge leap. Plus, voters aren't likely to notice the 49ers' gaudy record will come against arguably the easiest schedule in the league. Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers (35-1) Futures markets provide a variety of low-risk/high-reward ways to bet on a high-end outlier result for any team, since there is always a price worth playing for a potential result. Aaron Rodgers searches out the spotlight, hoping for more close-ups than the directors on the most recent season of 'The Bear.' But even if you don't think he is the answer for the Steelers this season, there isn't a 0% chance a team that made the playoffs last year with Russell Wilson can win a few more games with a former MVP. Instead of betting on the Steelers to win the AFC (20-1) or the AFC North (+550), if they end up being good enough to do either, Tomlin is likely to get much of the credit for integrating the enigmatic Rodgers. Especially since voters might be willing to find any good reason to reward the longtime Pittsburgh coach (who's never won this award), as the respect Tomlin commands is the primary reason anyone thinks this relationship has any chance of working. Lastly, something will inevitably happen that provides a hurdle for a head coach (like Kevin Stefanski managing the Browns' quarterback situation in 2023) we couldn't have seen coming in the preseason. And that's what makes this volatile market one worth monitoring for betting opportunities throughout the season as well.
