Cody Bellinger and Kyle Tucker have been linked all offseason. Nearly every team that has been rumored to be interested in one is thought to have kicked the tires on the other. Some have their preferences, of course, like how the New York Yankees have prioritized Bellinger, but the song remains the same. For the most part.
Bellinger and the Yankees have been volleying offers back and forth, but despite a proposal in excess of $30 million AAV, the two sides aren't close to a deal, with the star outfielder reportedly digging his heels in on his demand for a seven-year-plus contract.
