How about this?
With Trent Grisham expected to reject the New York Yankees' qualifying offer, fans can probably expect that to be an official free agency departure by the time the Winter Meetings arrive. That, ostensibly, clears a better path for them to re-sign Cody Bellinger.
But we know Belli has a number of other big-spending suitors reportedly eyeing him, such as the Mets, Phillies and Dodgers, among others. It's unclear if the Yankees are ready to engage in a bidding war for a player turning 30 years old given their aging roster, but there's also the reality that it's hard to envision them losing Bellinger and surviving.
