Overview
- ESPN reporting says there is a sizable divide between Bellinger’s camp and the Yankees, with resistance to offers below roughly $27.5 million in average annual value.
- The Yankees have made Bellinger a priority and have presented two offers this offseason, according to New York Post reporting summarized by multiple outlets.
- Jon Heyman noted the Dodgers have interest in Bellinger, while separate reporting suggests the Mets could be a possibility if negotiations with the Yankees stall.
- Analyst Chris Kirschner says a long-term deal to retain Bellinger could prompt the Yankees to move either Jasson Domínguez or Spencer Jones.
- If Bellinger departs, reporting indicates the Yankees could open 2026 with Jones and Domínguez filling outfield roles.
