Cody Bellinger to the Bronx: Steal or Bust?
The Yankees are gambling on a Bellinger resurgence, taking on his contract and hoping he can recapture his MVP form. Is this a savvy move to shore up their outfield and provide some pop, or are they setting themselves up for another expensive disappointment?
Bellinger's track record is a rollercoaster – from MVP highs to being non-tendered, then a bounce-back with the Cubs followed by a dip in production. Which Bellinger will the Yankees get? And is the potential reward worth the financial risk, especially considering the opt-outs in his contract?
This move also raises questions about the Yankees' outfield alignment. Will Bellinger actually be their everyday center fielder, pushing Judge back to right and potentially stunting Dominguez's development? Or is this just a temporary fix until Dominguez is ready?
The Yankees still have holes to fill, particularly at third base. Does this acquisition limit their flexibility in free agency or the trade market? How does this impact their pursuit of other available players, and what other moves can we expect from Cashman and company? Weigh in with your thoughts and predictions.
