The New York Yankees had a relatively quiet offseason, with their biggest move being the signing of priority target Cody Bellinger.
“Cody Bellinger's deal with the New York Yankees is for five years and $162. 5 million, sources tell ESPN. There are opt-outs after the second and third season—which get pushed back a year in the event of a work stoppage that kills the 2027 season—a $20 million signing bonus, and a full no-trade clause,” ESPN’s Jeff Passan wrote.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone is known for his “whatever it takes to win” mentality. He demonstrated that in October when he benched Jazz Chisholm. “There was never a problem between me and Aaron Boone.
He's been my manager all year and I've stood behind him all year. We always have disagreements—I mean, I played third base this year and we had a little bit of a disagreement in that—but at the end of the day, I always stand with Boonie because he understands where I come from. He knows I'm a passionate player and he knows I wear my feelings on my sleeve.
