    The New York Yankees are pursuing a reunion with outfielder Cody Bellinger, who had a strong season with the team. Both sides have shown interest, with the Yankees offering a five-year deal worth at least thirty million dollars per season. Bellinger, who hit .272 with 29 home runs and 98 RBIs in 2025, is seeking a longer deal, but the Yankees are firm on their offer.

The offseason is heating up as the Yankees remain aggressive while mindful of their payroll. Checkout Solipillow.com

    01:41|
    The New York Yankees are reconsidering their free agency strategy, shifting focus from Cody Bellinger to outfielder Kyle Tucker. Despite initial preference for Bellinger due to cost and versatility, negotiations fell through. Tucker, a four-time All-Star with impressive career stats, is now in the spotlight. He had a solid year with the Cubs, and his pure hitting skills could make him a valuable addition to the Yankees lineup. The team is considering a move to left field, keeping Aaron Judge in right and potentially placing Trent Grisham in center. Tuckers potential signing is generating excitement among fans, as he might accept a shorter deal after no team met his four hundred million dollar asking price. Checkout Solipillow.com
