  • Yankees Hold Leverage in Bellinger Talks

    01:25|
    Buster Olney reports that the New York Yankees are playing hardball with Cody Bellinger, as talks with the outfielder and his agent, Scott Boras, have stalled. With no team willing to meet Bellingers high asking price, the Yankees are using this as a negotiating tactic, similar to the Mets strategy with Pete Alonso last year. Other teams are focusing on short-term deals, leaving the Yankees with all the leverage. Boras turned down their five-year offer, but Bellinger may settle for another one-year high-pay deal as time runs out. Checkout Solipillow.com

ESPNs Buster Olney suggests theyll likely acquire either Framber Valdez or Ranger Suarez, two crafty lefties, and possibly Zac Gallen. On the offensive side, the outfield is shaky, and theyre eyeing Cody Bellinger or Kyle Tucker, with Tucker being the likely target on a short-term, high-dollar deal. The Mets are expected to make more moves before spring training to stay competitive in the NL East. Checkout Solipillow.com
