"The conference is surely going to focus on outfielder Cody Bellinger's return to the organization after he re-upped with the team on a five-year deal last week. That deal became official on Monday, which opens the door for Cashman to speak more candidly about not only that deal, but the team's roster and direction as a whole. Today's press conference could offer insight into how the team plans to juggle playing time between the primary starters in the outfield (Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and Aaron Judge) and the up-and-coming youngsters on the roster like Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez."
"That uncertainty figures to end today, as Cheng will either officially pass through waivers (allowing the Mets to outright him to the minors as non-roster depth) or be claimed by another a team and added to their 40-man roster. Cheng made his big league debut in Pittsburgh last year and made it into just three games. The Taiwan native is a career .218/.319/.280 hitter at Triple-A but is still just 24 years old and a quality defender all around the infield."
Yankees GM Brian Cashman will hold a press conference today focused on outfielder Cody Bellinger's return after signing a five-year deal that became official on Monday. Cashman can discuss that contract, the team's roster and direction, and how playing time will be divided among primary outfielders Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and Aaron Judge. The press conference could also clarify roles for youngsters Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez and indicate whether further additions are planned before Spring Training. The Mets expect a resolution for infielder Tsung-Che Cheng's DFA status today; he will either pass through waivers or be claimed despite limited Triple-A hitting, with age, defense, and remaining options as potential attractions.
