Cody Bellinger is rejoining the Yankees on a five-year, $162.5 million contract after opting out of his previous deal. The contract includes opt-outs after 2027 and 2028, a $20 million signing bonus, and a no-trade clause. Acquired from the Cubs in December 2024, Bellinger had a strong 2025 season, batting .272 with 29 home runs, helping the Yankees reach the postseason. His return was crucial for bolstering the outfield alongside Aaron Judge.
