Bellinger-Yankees Negotiations Stall as Boras Pushes for Big Payday
The Yankees and Cody Bellinger appear to be at an impasse in free-agent talks, with New York reportedly offering up to five years at over $30 million per season while Bellinger’s camp, led by Scott Boras, seeks about seven years at roughly $37 million AAV. The market has trended toward five-year deals with players like Schwarber, Alonso, and Bregman, suggesting a longer deal may be unlikely unless leverage shifts (potentially aided by a Kyle Tucker signing). Sides still have suitors and a reunion on reasonable terms could occur, but the current dynamics favor a stalemate for now.
