Yankees potential trade target: Cody Bellinger
In what has seemingly become an annual tradition, the New York Yankees come out of the All-Star Break in desperate need of an outfield bat. In 2021, injuries and regression hit Clint Frazier while Brett Gardner showed his age. In 2022, Joey Gallo’s struggles in the Bronx finally reached a point where everybody involved, player and team, needed a change. And now, in 2023, the Yankees have employed a small army of left fielders — Oswaldo Cabrera, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Jake Bauers, Aaron Hicks, Billy McKinney, Greg Allen, Willie Calhoun, Franchy Cordero, and Giancarlo Stanton — who have combined for a whopping 0.0 fWAR, 84 wRC+, -11 Defensive Runs Saved, and -5 Outs Above Average.
