But the homegrown talent \u2014 drafted in 2005 \u2014 has provided less incentive to bring him back to an already-crowded outfield, having recorded a career-worst .198 batting average through 42 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees have a $10 million option to bring back Gardner next season, with a $2.5 million buyout.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel great. I feel healthy and strong,\u201d Gardner said. \u201cI know that this season hasn\u2019t gone maybe how I\u2019ve wanted from a numbers standpoint, but recently I have been better and felt much better, and hopefully continue to play well down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would love to play next year, but I\u2019m really not too concerned about it. Just continue to focus on this group of guys and this season and let all of that take care of itself in the offseason.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The frustration of this season will continue until the offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Though players have the option to bring family into the MLB postseason bubble, Gardner\u2019s wife and two sons will remain at home, where the outfielder believes he should be, too, like he has been all season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy kids are back home and in school and things are pretty normal there. I feel like the whole bubble situation makes it very difficult for guys\u2019 families to come do that and be a part of things, unfortunately, with where we\u2019re at,\u201d Gardner said. \u201cI understand the thought behind it. I\u2019m not happy about it for those reasons and other reasons. I think our guys have done a great job over the last few months following all the protocols and being very smart, haven\u2019t had any issues and I don\u2019t see any reason we shouldn\u2019t be able to continue doing that over the next six weeks, but the rules are what they are. \u2026 It\u2019s been a frustrating year for me and for a whole lot of other people for a whole lot of reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Related article :\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/maexecsearch.com\/average-c-suite-tenure-and-other-important-executive-facts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Average C-Suite Tenure and Other Important Executive Facts \u2013 Updated for 2022<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/19\/brett-gardner-doesnt-want-yankees-tenure-to-end-like-this\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brett Gardner doesn\u2019t want Yankees tenure to end like this Brett Gardner isn\u2019t ready for the ride to end.
