The rumors surrounding the Yankees pursuing Cody Bellinger are strong, but his potential impact as a 2-WAR player raises significant salary concerns given the team's budget constraints.
Bellinger's contract choices add complexity to any trade discussions. The Yankees' competitive tax situation means every dollar spent effectively gets taxed at a higher rate.
Acquiring Nico Hoerner is unlikely, especially after the Cubs traded another infielder, and Hoerner’s recovery from surgery adds to uncertainty about his availability.
Bellinger's versatility in playing both the outfield and first base could be beneficial to the Yankees, but it’s uncertain if he alone can significantly boost their offense.
