The New York Yankees need to build a 2025 contender without outfielder Juan Soto. Could part of their backup plan include Chicago Cubs slugger Cody Bellinger?
The New York Yankees are forced to deal with building a 2025 roster that doesn't include outfielder Juan Soto. Luckily for general manager Brian Cashman, there are several intriguing options available. Could the Bombers pursue a trade with the Chicago Cubs for outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger?Although Bellinger opted into his $27.5 million salary with the Cubs for 2025, Chicago has made him available on the trade market.
Rymer made predictions for the Winter Meetings now that Soto is off the market. He thinks the Yankees could sign first baseman Pete Alonso away from the Mets and trade for Bellinger.'His left-handed stroke and Yankee Stadium's short right field porch have long seemed right for each other. According to Statcast, Bellinger would have hit six more home runs for the Yankees than he hit for the Chicago Cubs in 2024,' Rymer wrote.
