Cody Bellinger and the New York Yankees remain two of the biggest storylines in this MLB offseason, even though the future for both sides is still uncertain. In the Bronx, they don’t want to waste any time and continue searching for new faces to add to their roster.

While no specific names have been officially confirmed, certain moves that could take place in the near future for the Yankees have surfaced. It seems that winning the World Series is a clear goal for this team in 2026.

“The Yankees are discussing trade possibilities involving at least four different position players,” the insider Jon Heyman revealed. While awaiting what may happen with Bellinger’s return, Aaron Boone clearly doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.
