If no one else has got Yankees fans, you know Jeff Passan has got Yankees fans — and he's going to lay his information plain without a sweet sugar coat.
ESPN's primary insider posted a 10-item "watch list" on Threads late Sunday night, one week before the frenzied Winter Meetings are set to begin. His third item was all about Bellinger. While many have insinuated in recent weeks that the Yankees' "Plan A" mentality will result in Bellinger returning, Passan doesn't see the situation as quite so cut-and-dried. Instead, he believes the "door is open" for the Dodgers, Phillies, and Mets (and a nebulous group of "others") to make a push for the outfielder.
