Yankees remain engaged in free agent market — including with Pete Alonso
NY Post
Even after a flurry of activity over the past week, the Yankees roster has plenty of question marks, perhaps the biggest at first base — if Cody Bellinger doesn’t end up there — and second base — if Jazz Chisholm Jr. doesn’t get shifted from third.
General manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday that he remains engaged with the agents of most “above average” options available at the spots, as well as in the outfield.
And he said the list includes Pete Alonso.
Alonso is among the biggest free agents left and the Yankees are also engaged with Christian Walker, Carlos Santana and Paul Goldschmidt, according to sources.
Santana and Goldschmidt wouldn’t cost as much, which may be to the Yankees’ liking, given the price tags of Bellinger and lefty Max Fried.
Signing any of them would likely put Bellinger in center, with Aaron Judge moving back to right field and perhaps Jasson Dominguez in left, where he struggled in September.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
