Will Brett Gardner be returning to New York, to the team that wears the pinstripes for the 2022 season?

After New York, the team that wears the pinstripes lost to Boston 6-1 in the Wild Card Game in Boston Massachusetts on Tuesday night Brett Gardner had this to say about his future! His future with New York, the team that wears the pinstripes.

“I hope that I’m back next season,” Gardner said. “Obviously that’s not really on my radar right now. Just trying to process all that went on and this season that just finished.

Brett Gardner said the decision-making process would soon kick in, starting with conversations with his family.

“They have obviously sacrificed,” Gardner said. “This game has been great to me and great to my family, but the longer you play and the older your kids get, the harder it gets and the more things I miss out on and not being able to see them back home doing their thing. And obviously makes it harder to be together all the time and things like that.

“Physically I feel healthy and I feel strong and feel like I can continue to play this game at a high level. Obviously this season did not end the way we wanted it to, for myself or the team, but I do still feel like I have a lot to give. But right now, not as worried about next year and what the future holds as I am just trying to process this and be with my teammates, be with my brothers and try and lick our wounds a little bit.”

“Right now, if I had to answer, I hope I’m back in that room and I hope I’m in Tampa come February. But there’s obviously a long time between now and then and a lot of things that need to get figured out. We’ll see what happens.”
