I've always been a fan of Didi Gregorius. He came to New York with big shoes to fill and he didn't ask for that. He did what he should have done. Took a deep breath, explained to the fans that he's not replacing icon Derek Jeter, he's just gonna play his game. And then, guess what he did... played his game and became a Yankee favorite.
Didi was absent from baseball for a bit and bounced around from team to team. He currently was playing in Mexico, but that doesn't mean he wasn't trying to get back to the MLB. Well, now we have a confirmation. He just signed a deal with the Mariners.
MLB Trade Rumors writes:
"The Mariners have signed infielder Didi Gregorius to a minor league deal... Gregorius’ deal contains a $1.5MM base salary if he cracks the MLB roster, reports Daniel Kramer of MLB.com (Twitter link)."It's great for Didi. I really hope he can hang on with the big club. He's a gentleman in baseball. Just a great dude. I wish him the best.
The gold jackets yours Didi. Shooter's gonna choke!
