Cody Bellinger has swing ‘built’ for Yankee Stadium that makes him a perfect Bronx fit
NY Post
Amid an offseason that has not been ideal, the Yankees found an ideal target.
In the aftermath of losing out on Juan Soto, among the Yankees needs were a first baseman and center fielder, hopefully with a strong glove; preferably a lefty bat with a tendency of pulling the ball; probably someone with a history of playing in big markets (maybe even with some Yankees lineage); and, as they always hope, someone who wanted to be in pinstripes.
Cody Bellinger checked off every box.
The outfielder/first baseman was acquired on Tuesday, when the Yankees sent Cody Poteet to the Cubs and got back a player whose only true downside was a contract that has two years and $52.5 million remaining (with a player opt-out after next season, and with the Cubs responsible for $5 million).
The Yankees were happy to land a gifted athlete who is a nearly perfect fit for the roster.
The feeling apparently was mutual.
