"However, Cody Bellinger continues to be an interesting name and pivot for the Blue Jays, especially after striking out on Tucker. With reports of offers from teams like the New York Yankees and New York Mets, it may be in the Blue Jays' best interest to match or exceed what's on the table. Blue Jays would need to swing for the fences to get Bellinger in Toronto"
"Bellinger's desired contract has been known for the last few weeks. Reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale, Bellinger is looking for a deal that's at least seven years. The desired length was revealed after the Yankees reportedly offered a five-year deal worth between $155-$160 million. Recently, Nightengale also noted that the Yankees are still waiting on Bellinger's decision and that the Blue Jays and Mets are in on the outfielder."
Toronto added Dylan Cease and Kazuma Okamoto while missing out on Kyle Tucker and Bo Bichette, leaving the team with offseason momentum. Cody Bellinger remains a primary target, with interest from the Yankees and Mets and a reported desire for a contract of at least seven years. The Yankees offered a five-year deal valued around $155–$160 million and are reportedly waiting on a decision while avoiding a bidding war. The Mets are ready to propose a shorter-term, high-value contract similar to a recent three-year, $126 million deal. Toronto has a precedent of pursuing long-term offers in free agency.
