Yankees: 3 Players Who Are Definitely Losing Their Minds During Quarantine
By Adam Weinrib
3. Brett Gardner
We can’t see Brett Gardner handling the quarantine very well.
This was supposed to be it! Brett Gardner was coming back to the Yankees on a one-year deal for a potential swan song, hoping to secure the team’s 28th title (and his second) and disappear to a berry farm in Holly Hill, SC forever or something. This delay in gratification alone is likely enough to send Gardy into a frenzy, but not the good kind.
And see, that’s the thing. Banging your regular roof with a bat is a lot more destructive; we’re sure Gardner would rather be sending dugout plaster to the ground with reckless abandon.
Plus, without his teammates to tickle and get hot-headed at, we don’t think Gardy in isolation is getting the validation he craves right now. He’s probably a real ornery sum’bitch.
