     He was traded to the New York Yankees in December 2009. Granderson played with them for four seasons and they made the playoffs three times. He went across town and signed with the New York Mets as a free agent. Granderson helped them win their first National League Championship in 2015 after a 29-year wait. They fell to the Kansas City Royals in the World Series.
     Granderson was traded by the Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers in August 2017. The Dodgers would win their first National League title since 1988. They lost to the Houston Astros in seven games.
