Legend Makes Honest Trent Grisham Statement
GettyTrent Grisham #12 of the New York Yankees reacts after hitting a two-run home run during the eighth inning against the Seattle Mariners at Yankee Stadium on August 12, 2026 in the Bronx borough of New York City. The Yankees won 10-5.
Despite his big night, Grisham has struggled this season.
In a recent interview with The Michael Kay Show, Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez spoke about Grisham.
Kay: “Are you stunned, Alex, by how much the Yankee offense has been affected because Judge is out?”
Rodriguez: “I’m not that surprised, Michael… I’m obviously an enormous Yankee fan and I watch a lot. I thought the party started when they got Grisham and I heard your show almost every day. I saw how angry the fans got for the $22 million and I heard you say that maybe the proper number would have been three for 15 or three for 25 or three for 30, which probably would have been a lot more appropriate. But it’s amazing how the whole fan base knew exactly how this was going to turn out and it did.”
Grisham is in the middle of his third season with the Yankees.
He is currently batting .222 with 72 hits, 15 home runs, 50 RBIs, 59 runs and seven stolen bases in 100 games.
Before New York, the 29-year-old had stops with the Milwaukee Brewers and San Diego Padres over eight total MLB seasons.
