""We added a lot of weapons at the deadline and they're all finding their proper slots and how to be utilized and deployed," Cashman said during a Wednesday video call to announce the Bellinger signing. "And also (experiencing) the growing pains of competing in the New York arena and exposure to postseason baseball. "I've been openly willing to challenge anybody that we don't have a championship-caliber roster or team. It's our job to find ways to make it better along the way.""
""I feel really good with that," Bellinger said of the returning roster. "Obviously, it might not be what everyone wants to hear, but I do love the group that we had. We had a special unit. We had great chemistry that I don't think can be understood unless inside the clubhouse. "We all play for each other. On top of that, we have some important pieces coming back. I'm excited to run it back with those guys.""
The New York Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger to a five-year, $162 million contract, adding depth at first base and in the outfield. General manager Brian Cashman cited multiple summer and winter acquisitions that are settling into defined roles while the club navigates the growing pains of New York competition and postseason exposure. The organization expects injured stars to return and further bolster the roster. Bellinger praised clubhouse chemistry and expressed enthusiasm for repeating the core group's run. Manager Aaron Boone noted increased internal competition as positional flexibility and depth become more valuable.
