The handlebars feel like they're too close to me, and I'm kicking around the idea of getting 110mm long stem with a 20 degree rise.
Your case is not cut and dry. You are riding an XL hybrid frame and the bars feel too close. In addition to wanting to move the bars further away, you also want to raise them.
It might be worth your while to talk to a good fitter since a Trek hybrid shouldn’t feel twitchy and I don’t think just swapping a stem is going to be the cure.
