As things stand now, the New York Yankees should be considered one of the main losers of the MLB offseason.
So far, GM Brian Cashman has yet to make a big splash, and while there's still time, patience is running out in the Bronx. The Yankees are reportedly keeping tabs on Bo Bichette and Edward Cabrera. Other than that, they're trying to keep Cody Bellinger on the team. According to a report by SNY and Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Yankees have formally submitted a second offer for the star.
"The offer comes on the heels of the news that New York is eying starting pitcher Edward Cabrera in a possible trade with the Miami Marlins which connects to the Yankees' offer to Bellinger because if he were to stay in New York he would likely play left field, alongside Aaron Judge in right and Trent Grisham in center," the report read.
While the terms of the offer weren't disclosed, Spotrac currently projects Bellinger's market value at $180 million over six years. Bringing him back would also allow the Yankees to move on from former star prospect Jasson Dominguez, who, despite his underwhelming production, might still be a valuable trade asset.
The Yankees need to keep up with the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox, and not keeping Bellinger in town will make it harder for them to get back to the top of the AL East.
