It's a bad time to need a center fielder. The New York Yankees are about to find that out the hard way. Cody Bellinger is the top option on the free agent market, and the clear best fallback plan is his Yankees teammate Trent Grisham.
If one were to turn to the trade market for an outfield general, they'd find that the best choice might be ... Luis Robert? Sounds really enticing to trade prospects for a guy with a .661 OPS and $20 million a year contract (assuming the White Sox pick up his option).
Re-signing Bellinger is the obvious choice, but after a strong season and with a dearth of alternatives on the open market, his price tag will likely be out of the Yankees' comfort zone.
