The New York Yankees and outfielder Cody Bellinger are in agreement on a five-year, $162.5 million contract, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Wednesday, ending a standoff between two sides that preferred to reunite all winter long.
The deal includes opt-outs after the second and third seasons, a $20 million signing bonus, and a full no-trade clause, sources said.
Bellinger figures to slot back in as the Yankees' primary left fielder -- he started more games there (59) than anywhere else last season -- and dislodge Jasson Dominguez from an everyday role.
