Overview
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman has said publicly the club wants Bellinger back, but no deal has been announced.
- New predictions now link Bellinger to the Mets, adding to earlier projections pointing to the Diamondbacks and a separate call for a Dodgers reunion on a six-year, $180 million deal.
- Agent Scott Boras asked a Forbes-linked report of a $400 million asking price to be retracted, calling it nonsense.
- Contingency chatter includes the Yankees pivoting to four-time All-Star Kyle Tucker on a projected 10-year, $360 million contract, while Bellinger’s market value has been pegged near six years and roughly $180 million by some analyses.
- Bellinger boosted his value with a 2025 season for New York in which he hit .272 with 29 home runs and 98 RBIs.
