The conversation regarding how the New York Yankees solve their outfield puzzle is starting to get heated, and the questions being asked only prove to cloud the path forward even more. Cody Bellinger's decision to opt out was not unexpected, and while a lot of chatter surrounds whether or not the Yankees should bring him or teammate Trent Grisham back, Kyle Tucker has entered the chat.
Tucker had a contingent of fans clamoring for him last offseason once it became clear that the Houston Astros were going to move their star outfielder. In many ways, he would have been the prime Juan Soto replacement, but instead, the Yankees took a different path, knowing they'd once again meet Tucker at the crossroads of this winter's hot stove.
