Circumstances with Cody Bellinger have grown more nerve-wracking for the New York Yankees since the Christmas Day report indicating that they weren’t worried at all about losing Belli. Brian Cashman has now presented two different offers to Bellinger (according to reports), but the outfielder remains unsigned and pursued by the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, and others. With the surety of Bellinger slipping away, the Yankees are suddenly hot on the trail of Bo Bichette, per The New York Post’s Jon Heyman.
New York’s interest in Bichette was viewed as mere fodder for the rumor mill only days ago, but now it’s transformed into something very real in light of the Bellinger situation.
