Cody Bellinger was traded to the Yankees after weeks of negotiations, ultimately leaving the Blue Jays, who had previously shown interest, as the runner-up.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman confirmed the trade decision, highlighting that the Cubs had narrowed it down to two teams and acted swiftly to secure Bellinger.
Toronto was previously interested in Bellinger during free agency but could not finalize deals, making this trade to the Yankees a missed opportunity.
The Yankees assumed a significant portion of Bellinger's contract, indicating that while Toronto had interest, they were hesitant to match the Yankees' financial offers.
