The Yankees have extended a five-year contract offer to Cody Bellinger, valued at over $30 million annually, but are bracing for the possibility that he may seek a longer deal elsewhere. Reports indicate Bellinger’s camp is aiming for a seven-year guarantee, which remains a key negotiation hurdle. Although the Yankees may consider opt-out clauses, it remains unclear if their latest offer included such terms. Bellinger, coming off a solid season, is expected to secure a significantly more lucrative deal than his previous three-year contract.
