One of the most sought-after free agents has yet to decide his future for the 2026 MLB season, and if he ultimately chooses the New York Yankees over the Mets, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see additional moves in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">According to Chris Kirschner on Foul Territory, there are two players who could be on the move if Bellinger decides to sign a long-term contract. Both Spencer Jones and Jasson Dominguez could be headed out as the <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/topic\/new-york-yankees\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Yankees<\/a> look ahead.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The Yankees\u2019 interest in adding Freddy Peralta for the upcoming season is also concrete, and if both Peralta\u2019s arrival and Bellinger\u2019s return happen, Kirschner sees a potential trade involving either Dominguez or Jones as viable.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">Despite being <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/mlb\/cody-bellinger-warned-by-ny-yankees-all-star-on-the-risk-of-leaving-for-ny-mets\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">warned about the risks of choosing the Yankees over the Mets<\/a>, Bellinger\u2019s decision still has the entire MLB on edge. It\u2019s a matter of watching how the next developments unfold to see what choice he ultimately makes for his future.<\/p>\n<p>More moves could be coming for the Yankees<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"mb-[20px] md:mb-[30px] break-word\">The New York Yankees have recently checked in on free agent Bo Bichette, but adding the former Blue Jays star would require a significant shuffle in the infield. According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the team does not envision Bichette as a shortstop and would likely move him to second or third base. <\/p>\n<p><a title=\"NY Yankees announce signings of former Cardinals and Marlins players for 2026\" href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/mlb\/ny-yankees-announce-signings-of-former-players-from-cardinals-and-marlins-to-minor-contracts\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"article-also-read-embed\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aspect-square max-w-[100px] m-[10px] md:m-0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1767650320_707_image\" alt=\"NY Yankees announce signings of former Cardinals and Marlins players for 2026\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary my-[13px] uppercase text-alsoReadSeeAlso bg-alsoReadSeeAlsoBackground alsoReadSeeAlso w-fit\">see also<\/p>\n<p class=\"w-full line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2 text-alsoReadEmbedTitle font-primary alsoReadLink\">NY Yankees announce signings of former Cardinals and Marlins players for 2026<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"paragraph\" class=\"break-word\">This creates a situation where <a href=\"https:\/\/bolavip.com\/en\/mlb\/yankees-rumors-two-players-might-be-moved-if-bo-bichette-trade-materializes\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"break-word font-articleLinkText text-articleLinkText hover:text-articleLinkTextHover hover:bg-articleLinkTextHoverBg cursor-pointer border-solid border-b-articleLinkTextHover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">two Yankees\u2019 players might be moved<\/a>, specifically Ryan McMahon or Jazz Chisholm Jr., to accommodate Bichette\u2019s arrival and maintain balance within the lineup for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s clear that Cody Bellinger\u2019s offseason saga is heating up.
