The new York Yankees’ pursuit of Cody Bellinger is facing a potential snag, as they reportedly lack a clear backup plan if they fail too re-sign the outfielder. According to Jim Bowden, a baseball analyst, the yankees are willing to offer Bellinger a substantial signing bonus, suggesting a strong desire to retain him, but are hesitant to engage in a bidding war.CBS Sports
Yankees’ Strategy and potential Alternatives
The Yankees are hoping Bellinger will accept their offer to avoid a competitive bidding situation. However, if he looks elsewhere, several teams could emerge as contenders. The New York Mets have been mentioned as a potential short-term option, but it remains uncertain whether Bellinger would be interested in joining his third team since leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers.CBS Sports
