2024 Fantasy Outlook
Grisham's most obvious real-life value has always been tied to his defense, though his potential to package double-digit homers and steals has kept him from falling entirely off the fantasy radar. Last season, he notched a career-high 15 thefts and slugged 13 long balls but was largely unrosterable due to batting a meager .198, falling below the Mendoza Line for the second straight year. Grisham was awarded for his patience at the plate with an elite 13.5% walk rate, but his affinity for taking pitches wasn't all positive -- he passed on considerably more pitches in the best areas of the strike zone than the average major-leaguer, which combined with a 28.3% whiff rate to result in a poor 27.8% strikeout rate. Grisham's glove gave him a considerable amount of job security during his tenure to San Diego, but after moving to the Yankees in the Juan Soto deal, he'll likely spend the 2024 campaign in a fourth-outfielder role.

Nabs fourth straight start
Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Orioles, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Grisham will get his fourth straight start in center field, but his run of regular playing time should soon come to an end. During the first three starts, the Yankees were without Alex Verdugo (personal), who was on the paternity list. Verdugo has rejoined the Yankees for Thursday's series finale in Baltimore and will start in left field, but New York will have room in center field for Grisham once again while Aaron Judge serves as the designated hitter in place of a resting Giancarlo Stanton. Grisham will be relegated to the fourth-outfielder role for games in which all of Judge, Verdugo, Stanton and Juan Soto are included in the lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Included in Soto deal
Grisham will go to the Yankees as part of the Juan Soto trade, presuming it is completed, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Grisham wouldn't have a starting spot in New York after the Yankees acquired Alex Verdugo in addition to Soto, but the Yanks will take on the roughly $5 million he's slated to make in arbitration and use him as a fourth outfielder and defensive replacement. The 27-year-old has slashed just .191/.300/.347 over the last two seasons but consistently grades out as a plus defender in center field.

2021
2020

2017
2016
Grisham had a 106 wRC+ across his first three big-league campaigns, but he struggled mightily at the plate in 2022 with a .625 OPS in 152 games. He lost hold of the starting job in center field in mid-September but reclaimed the job by the end of the campaign. Grisham once again provided excellent defense in center field with 13 OAA to earn a Gold Glove, which is the primary reason he received as many opportunities as he did despite his offensive issues. His strikeout rate spiked to 28.6 percent, but he continues to take plenty of walks with an 11.2 percent walk rate. Grisham saw his contact rate drop over five percentage points when swinging at pitches inside the strike zone, and his line-drive rate also cratered to 13.5 percent. However, he also clubbed 17 homers and clearly still has the potential to be an impact bat. Whether the 26-year-old is able to get back on track in 2023 remains to be seen, making him a volatile fantasy option at best.
