Yankees and Cody Bellinger Reach Negotiation Stalemate

The Yankees’ pursuit of free agent Cody Bellinger has reached an impasse, with reports indicating they are preparing for his likely departure to another team. New York reportedly offered Bellinger over $30MM annually for five years, while his camp seeks a seven-year deal and a higher average annual value. Despite Bellinger’s successful season with the Yankees, where he hit .272 with 29 home runs, he now faces interest from multiple teams, including the Cubs. The situation remains fluid as the Yankees consider other options like Kyle Tucker.
