New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger NOT CLOSE on a new deal!

1. Bring back
   The beard…..

2. 21 of his 29 home runs were off the short porches of Yankee Stadium & Steinbrenner field. Boras loves his guys becoming Yankees prior to free agency bc short porch turns mediocre players into All Stars & often hall of famers. I don’t get the love for a guy Dodgers dumped, cubs paid to leave.

3. Yankees didn't get to world series with belly… you're thinking of soto

4. You made a good point about the Yankees not winning with Bellinger. Bellinger had really nice stats and Judge was MVP again and they couldn't even win the division.

5. I don't think there is going to be a team to offer him significantly more than 160M over 5 years with no deferrals. It would be best for Bellinger to stay with the Yankees because of that short porch too. Yankees are calling his bluff. MAYBE some team gives him 6 for 175M

6. And yet baseball wants to expand and there aren’t enough mlb ready players to go around as it is.

7. God it's always about Scott Boris isn't it?

8. CASHMAN SHOULD NOT SIGN BELLINGER THERES TALENT OUT THERE OR TRADES TO MAKE THE TEAM. BETTER.

9. Let him go.

10. Bellinger is an actual ballplayer so expect the Yankees to pass on the guy

11. Gossage’s top salary would adjust to 5.7 million a year, or 25% of Edwin Diaz’s 20.4 million last year. One other difference is that MLB has much better revenue streams now than it did in the 70’s and 80’s. All things considered, it looks about right.

12. Goose played until 1994, not 1989

13. Gossage played until 1994, from age 20 to age 42.

14. Good news, letting Cody finish his story his way.

15. I think signing Bo Bichette + Luis Arraez would be better & cheaper

16. You just proved Soto is worth half of his contract

17. NYY fan. Prefer Bichette. Either way i don't Belli. Play Dominguez & Spencer Jones & see whats there. Fire AssClown Cashman.

18. Cody Bellinger is an excellent player and had a very nice season for the Yankees in 2025. He's excellent on defense and seems to be a good guy. $37 million a year until he is 38 years old? (his B'day is July 13, 1995) is simply ridiculous. CODY BELLINGER IS NOT WORTH THE $30 MILLION PER YEAR THAT THE YANKEES HAVE OFFERED.

19. the yanks should move on. really, they should.

20. Scott Boras sometimes overshoots the runway at the expense of his clients. The less bidders you have the lower the offers.
    It is amusing though hearing fans fret about how much wealthy owners spend. These same fans have this supernatural ability to predict how many years a player will be good.

21. 1/40 to the Rockies incoming…

22. I can't wait for the LOCKOUT!!!

23. He stunk in the postseason.

24. Yankees should tell him the offer expires in 48 hours

25. It’s sad. Schwarber got 30. Pete got 31. Bregman got 35. There is no taking into account that not all players and positions are created equal. Cody wants 37 just because the last guy got 35.😂

26. Im not mad at Cashman at all. Let Bellinger go. He is NOT Aaron Judge but wants the same AAV. Hes not even close. Bring up Spencer Jones

27. I’m not a Yankees fan, but don’t they have Spencer Jones? If they don’t want him send him to the dodgers

28. how often do teams withdraw their offer when the agent and player is being too difficult?

29. 2:22 David uses numbers 69 & 4.20

    Me: nice 😏

30. I don’t understand why the Yankees would want a player who is atrocious in the playoffs. He strikes out 34% of the time in October compared to 22% in the regular season.. and it’s not a small sample size. It’s 270 at bats. You could sign Enrique Hernandez for 8 million and he is guaranteed to put up better stats in the playoffs.

31. As long as the Jays don't pick him up I don't care where sleepy-eyes goes.

32. I rather get bo botchette. Jazz in shortstop. Domingez coming off full healthy year. More complete offensive lineup.

33. You couldn't be more right. He isn't worth even the 150 @5 yrs.

34. He shouldn't get more than 5 years period. Boras guys like Bregman and Alonso got 5 years. Boras basically set Bellinger's market.

35. Love that ' the greater fool theory' but who's the fool here..Toronto, Mets, Dodgers..just can't see it!?

36. Goose was a real reliever!

37. David just look at the Toronto Blue 500 million for Valdy why because he is the glue and smile that helps childern dream my only dissapointment as i coash in little league is players wearing lbs of gold around there neck yet DADDY HAS A HARD TIME TAKING HIS CHIDERN TO A GAME LET THAT SINK IN but like you have said you never experance that did you at least you man up about it witch i respect….sorry about my grammare.Just venting and yes our family ,well our grandson and i watch and yes he brings up up hay opa why can they waer chains and i cant well Noah haves and have nots

38. I'm wondering if there's any team even in the Yankees offer range? It seems both sides need each other, but somehow Boras is going to get the Yankees to pay even more than the $160MM rumored. As for Goose, he's kind of replaced Bob Feller as the grumpy HOFer tilting at windmills. I like Goose because he speaks his mind, even if he says some crazy things. He's really pissed at Cashman because the Yankees banished Goose from Spring Training and Old Timer's Day invites because of some of those crazy things.

39. 'Someone could do it'… after looking at the appendix of that binder and falling in love with the table showing 'adjusted for ballpark' projections.
