[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he most underrated member of the New York Yankees, Brett Gardner, may be the next veteran out and if you think a team won’t be interested, you’re straight up wrong.Since 2008, the speedster has the fifth-highest on-base percentage among AL outfielders, has just been nominated for a gold glove, and constantly gives his all as soon as he steps between the lines.

Clint Frazier, the organization’s No. 1 prospect, is knocking on the door and it should be in general manager Brian Cashman’s best interest to bring over a starting pitcher for Gardner’s services.
Which teams are a fit, though? Sure it’s simple to shout and scream “TRADE HIM TRADE HIM” yet looking into who may be in the running or even need a guy like Gardner is eye-opening as many teams could, in fact, use the slick-fielding speedster.
