Yankees' offseason moves spark fan fury
16 Jan
Summary
- Yankees acquire pitcher Ryan Weathers from Marlins.
- Cody Bellinger seeks seven-year deal, Yankees offer five.
- Yankees' offer to Bellinger is $155-160 million.

The New York Yankees are actively engaged in the offseason, recently trading four prospects to the Miami Marlins for left-handed reliever Ryan Weathers. This move bolsters their bullpen and signals the club's intent to continue leveraging its minor league depth for significant upgrades. The team's primary focus, however, remains the pursuit of free agent Cody Bellinger.
Negotiations with Bellinger have encountered a significant hurdle regarding contract length. The former MVP, who opted out of his contract, is reportedly seeking a seven-year deal. However, the Yankees have presented a five-year offer valued between $155 million and $160 million, with no deferred payments. This disparity has led to a standstill in discussions.
With the Yankees and Bellinger at an impasse, other clubs are monitoring the situation. The Mets are reportedly targeting Kyle Tucker, while the Dodgers, Bellinger's former team, appear to be adopting a patient approach, potentially waiting for the market to cool before making a move.
