The New York Yankees received incredible play from both Cody Bellinger and Trent Grisham. They were able to help carry a portion of the offense in the Bronx, and paired well with Aaron Judge.
Bellinger played in 152 regular-season games, hitting .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs and 98 runs batted in. For Grisham, he played in 143, hitting .235/.348/.464 with a career-high 34 home runs and 74 runs batted in.
Unfortunately, one of, if not both of these players, could be gone this winter. They are both free agents and should have quite a few teams after them.
Yankees' breakout slugger viewed as 'best fit' for Angels
Trent Grisham could be a gem for whatever team picks him up next. He is a leader on and off the field, and Fansided's Robert Murray believes he could be a great fit for the Los Angeles Angels.
"It's always been obvious that he's tremendously talented, but he sure picked a great time to break out and hit 34 home runs. I don't have a good feel on what his contract will look like - a poll of a few executives and agents yielded wide-ranging answers - but he should do very, very well."
The Halos could use another star to complement Mike Trout, and Grisham would bring the energy the fans are looking for. And with the potential of playing for Albert Pujols, they could be an attractive destination.
On top of the Angels, Murray also points to the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets as other potential fits. It could end up being quite the bidding war for a hitter coming off such a hot season.
