Yankees Press Bellinger for Decision as Rival Interest Skews Short-Term

Los Angeles is reportedly inclined to only a three- to four-year commitment.

Overview

  • New York has a five-year, $155 million offer on the table and is pushing for a resolution within days, per multiple reports.
  • Scott Boras is seeking a seven-year contract for Cody Bellinger, creating the central impasse over deal length.
  • The Yankees are willing to include a signing bonus and a player opt-out but remain firm on the average annual value.
  • A Dodgers insider report indicates Los Angeles would likely cap an offer at three to four years, suggesting New York’s term is the longest in play.
  • Mets interest has cooled as they focus on Kyle Tucker, while separate predictions of a Dodgers five-year, $160 million deal are speculative.
