Brett Gardner, Yankees agree on four-year extension

The Yankees and Brett Gardner have agreed on a 4-year, $52 million extension on Sunday. Brian Cashman confirmed the agreement, but noted that some details still have to be worked out. This deal also comes with an option for 2019, with a buyout.

Gardner is going on his 7th year with the Yankees and has been a consistent player since being brought up. When he is healthy, he usually hits around .270 and steals 35 or more bases. He is known to be an automatic steal threat when he reaches base. Gardner also can always seem to find a gap too, which results in a lot of doubles (33 in 2013) and triples (10 in 2013).

The Yankees believe that Brett Gardner has a very similar skill set as Jacoby Ellsbury, who they just locked up for $152 million over 7-years.

Just moments after the news went public, Gardner commented by saying "There's no where else i want to play."
