Cody Bellinger is a great baseball player. He's a great personality. He's undoubtedly somebody you'd love to have on your team. But the current negotiations with the New York Yankees have reached absurd heights that almost no team would sign up for.
According to the latest rumors, Bellinger and agent Scott Boras are seeking a $37 million AAV over seven years. No disrespect to Bellinger, but that is essentially Aaron Judge money, and that is not happening under any circumstance. Even a team desperately in need of an influx of talent would not make that investment.
