Overview
- Team officials are patient in talks with agent Scott Boras and have signaled they will not bid against themselves.
- Reporting from the New York Post indicates the Yankees are somewhat confident about retaining Bellinger, with his camp seeking about seven years and a possible compromise at six.
- Bellinger’s strong 2025 with New York—29 homers, a .272/.334/.480 line and elite defense—underpins the club’s interest.
- Analyst RJ Anderson of CBS Sports predicts the Yankees will re-sign Bellinger rather than pivot to Kyle Tucker, with Jim Bowden previously estimating a market value near $168 million.
- Evaluations cite Bellinger’s fit for Yankee Stadium and notable home-road splits as key factors shaping New York’s valuation.
