Yankees still trying hard for Cody Bellinger as stout competition emerges
NY Post
Cody Bellinger remains the Yankees’ No. 1 target, and while they aren’t necessarily close to a deal, they are making a big effort.
Bellinger has a ton of interest coming off his 5-WAR season, with the Mets, Phillies, Angels and his old Dodgers team also possibilities.
While Bellinger slightly outplayed Kyle Tucker in 2025 (and fits the Yankees and Mets better due to his ability to play 1B and CF), Tucker is the No. 1 free agent due to age, more consistency and high walk rate.
Tucker’s in good shape with the aggressive Blue Jays hosting him this week, as FanSided’s Robert Murray first reported, and they have been very interested all along. …

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
