Overview
- With Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette signed elsewhere, Bellinger is widely described as the last impact bat still available.
- Recent reporting cites the Blue Jays and Mets as likely suitors now that other top hitters are off the board.
- The Yankees’ bid has reportedly remained at five years and $155 million, with opt-outs and a sizable bonus included.
- Coverage frames Bellinger as New York’s most obvious answer for left field and DH, with internal options seen as short of his value.
- Analysts caution that a late signing could contribute to a slow start for Bellinger as spring approaches.
