The New York Yankees prioritize retaining outfielder Cody Bellinger this offseason, but there is a significant gap between their offer and his contract demands. Bellinger had a strong first season with the Yankees, hitting .272 with 29 homers and displaying defensive versatility. Competing teams like the San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs also seek Bellinger’s services. The Yankees may need to reach a compromise soon, as they have a backup option in Kyle Tucker, who is also attracting interest.
