<p>The <strong>New York Yankees </strong>are playing their cards wisely heading into the upcoming <strong>MLB</strong> season regarding versatile player <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong>. Despite speculation that he was locked into center field, manager <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone">Aaron Boone</a></strong> has made it clear that Bellinger’s position is still up for debate.</p>



<p><strong>Bellinger’s ability to play both center field and first base </strong>provides the Yankees with valuable flexibility. This versatility allows the team to explore different lineup options and adapt to the needs of each game.</p>



<p>The final decision on <strong>Bellinger’s </strong>position will depend on several factors, including the performance of other players during spring training and any potential free-agent acquisitions the team makes. His adaptability keeps the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a>‘ options open as they prepare for the season.</p>



<p>According to <em>MLB.com’s</em> Bryan Hoch,<em> <strong>“Aaron Boone said it’s ‘fake news’ that Cody Bellinger was told he will play center field. LF, CF, and 1B are all still in play.”</strong></em></p>

<h2>The Impact on the Yankees’ Lineup</h2>



<p>If Bellinger is established as the starting center fielder, the<strong> Yankees could look to acquire a power-hitting first baseman to protect him in the lineup</strong>. Conversely, if <a href="https://bolavip.com/us/tema/cody-bellinger">Cody Bellinger</a> moves to first base, the team may focus on strengthening center field with a more defensive-minded player.</p>

<h2>The Yankee Stadium Factor</h2>



<p>Legendary Yankee Stadium could be the perfect setting for Bellinger to fully unleash his offensive potential. With his ability to hit long balls<strong>, the right field of the stadium could become a true playground for him</strong>.</p>



<h2>A Promising Future for Bellinger in MLB</h2>



<p>Bellinger’s arrival in New York has generated significant excitement among fans. His versatility, talent, and postseason experience make him a key asset for the team. As the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> regular season approaches, all eyes will be on the Yankees’ decisions regarding Bellinger’s role and how he will fit into the lineup.</p>

<p>The <strong>Chicago Cubs</strong> continue to make trades with the upcoming <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a></strong> season in mind, formalizing a surprising deal with their crosstown rivals the <strong>Chicago White Sox</strong>, leaving behind the departure of <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cody-bellinger">Cody Bellinger</a></strong>, who will play for the New York Yankees next season.</p>



<p>Former MLB Most Valuable Player <strong>Bellinger is headed to the Yankees in a trade with the Cubs that also includes right-handed reliever Cody Poteet. </strong>According to MLB.com, Chicago will send $5 million to the New York franchise as its contribution to complete the deal. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-cubs">Cubs</a> continue to make moves with this roster spot.</p>



<p>The player traded from the Cubs to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicago-white-sox">White Sox</a> <strong>is none other than catcher Matt Thaiss.</strong> It is the second trade of the veteran player who came to Chicago from the Los Angeles Angels for cash in exchange and is added to the White Sox 40-man roster. </p>



<h2>Why did the Cubs decide to trade Thaiss?</h2>



<p>The Cubs didn’t get what they were looking for from <strong>Thaiss’ time with the Chicago team, as the 29-year-old catcher hit .204 with two home runs and 16 RBIs in his 57 games last season.</strong> They also added Carson Kelly from the Texas Rangers, so Thaiss lost out on outfield playing time.</p>

<h2>Chicago Cubs want All-Star signee after Bellinger trade</h2>



<p>The recent trade involving Cody Bellinger has changed the Cubs’ financial reality,<strong> giving them the space and opportunity to pursue elite players heading into the new MLB season.</strong> By trading Bellinger’s substantial salary to the New York Yankees, Chicago is looking to secure the income of an All-Star player without paying the high salary of the now new Yankees player.</p>

<h2>How much space did Bellinger’s salary take up for the Cubs?</h2>



<p>Bellinger <strong>had a guaranteed salary of $27.5 million for next season, saving the Cubs approximately $22.5 million. </strong>That will allow Chicago to go after the likes of rumored two-time All-Star Walker Buehler, a potential target for Bellinger and Thaiss’ former team.</p>

MLB News: Cubs complete surprising trade with White Sox after Cody Bellinger's exit - Bolavip US

<p>The<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong> have made another eye-catching move this offseason, one that follows the loss of <strong>MLB</strong>’s top free agent, <strong>Juan Soto</strong>, who was acquired by the <strong>New York Mets</strong>. In response, the Yankees have bolstered their roster by trading for versatile outfielder and first baseman <strong>Cody Bellinger </strong>from the <strong>Chicago Cubs</strong>.</p>



<p>According to <em>Bob Nightengale</em> of <em>USA Today</em>, <em>“<strong>The Yankees, who sent right-hander Cody Poteet to the Cubs while also receiving $5 million in the trade</strong>, have informed Bellinger that he will be their new everyday center fielder, and play occasional games at first base, shifting two-time MVP Aaron Judge back to right field.”</em></p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/us/tema/cody-bellinger">Cody Bellinger</a>’s arrival is a major boost for the Yankees. His left-handed bat, combined with his defensive versatility, adds an exciting dimension to the lineup. <strong>A dynamic combination of Bellinger, Judge, and up-and-coming talent like Jasson Dominguez</strong> promises to make the Yankees’ offense one of the most potent in baseball.</p>



<p>Jeff Passan of <em>ESPN </em>also reported on Bellinger’s trade to New York, offering additional details on the deal: <em>“<strong>OF/1B Cody Bellinger has been traded from the Chicago Cubs to the New York Yankees, sources tell ESPN.</strong> Bellinger, 29, is a former MVP and has two years remaining on his contract, with an opt-out after the 2025 season. The Yankees continue to be aggressive post-Juan Soto.”</em></p>

<h2>Bellinger’s Potential in Yankee Stadium</h2>



<p>Bellinger’s presence in the Bronx is particularly intriguing following <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a>’s departure to the Mets. <strong>Yankee Stadium’s short right field is notoriously favorable for left-handed hitters</strong>, and <strong>Bellinger has the kind of power </strong>that could <strong>exploit that advantage</strong>. His ability to turn that dimension of the ballpark into a major weapon could make him a nightmare for opposing pitchers.</p>

<h2>A Bright Future for Bellinger in New York</h2>



<p>With Bellinger now in the fold, the <strong>Yankees have made a significant move toward reinforcing their roster</strong> and positioning themselves as serious contenders for a World Series title in the coming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> seasons. If Bellinger can recapture his MVP form and stay healthy, he could play a crucial role in the Yankees’ quest for championship glory.</p>

<p>With a series of recent victories under their belt, the<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a></strong> are actively considering trade opportunities to bolster their roster ahead of the deadline.<strong> Currently, the Yankees are aiming for the final AL Wild Card spot</strong>, making the playoff push an uphill battle. The potential return of star player<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-judge">Aaron Judge</a></strong> may bring a much-needed boost, but the team remains cautious.</p>



<p>The Yankees’ trajectory in the upcoming games against the first-place<strong> Orioles</strong> holds significant weight in shaping their trade strategy. Positive outcomes could solidify their intention to buy, while a sweep by the Orioles leading to a greater deficit in the Wild Card race may prompt a reconsideration.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230728#BUS#36933"></div>


<p>Among the players catching the Yankees’ attention are Rockies outfielder Randal Grichuk, Cardinals’ rising star Dylan Carlson, and Cubs’ versatile talent<strong> Cody Bellinger</strong>. The team sees these outfielders as potential additions to infuse their lineup with depth and offensive prowess.</p>



<h2>Yankees Eyeing Third Base Reinforcement</h2>



<p>Strengthening the third base position is also a priority for the Yankees, and their interest has turned to Nationals third baseman Jeimer Candelario, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.<strong> Adding Candelario would not only enhance the team’s defense but also bolster their offensive firepower</strong>. Nevertheless, uncertainties surrounding the Wild Card race add complexity.</p>



<p>As the trade deadline looms, the Yankees’ front office faces crucial decisions that will shape their trajectory for the remainder of the season. Balancing their recent performance, future prospects, and aspirations for a playoff berth will influence their trade approach.<strong> The next few days will be pivotal</strong> for the Yankees as they navigate through the trade deadline.</p>



<p>Their pursuit of trade opportunities hinges on their performance against the Orioles and their ability to close<strong> the gap in the Wild Card standings</strong>. As Yankees fans and baseball enthusiasts await the outcome, the team is determined to secure a spot in the postseason and continue their legacy of success.</p>

<p>The 2022 MLB season is near its midpoint, with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/diego-maradona-hand-of-god-shirt-up-for-auction-could-break-5-64-m-record-set-by-mlb-icon-babe-ruth-20220406-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/new-york-mets-25-great-simply-amazin-players-of-all-time-20220412-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Mets</a></strong> being the two biggest stories when it comes to teams. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/oakland-athletics-rock-these-mlb-soccer-jerseys-inspired-by-the-teams-nickname-and-citys-murals-20200904-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Oakland Athletics</strong></a> are the biggest story in terms of flops for teams in the MLB this season with a pitiful 23-45 record.</p>
<p>When it comes to players,<strong> Luis Arráez, Aaron Judge, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/mlb-25-highest-paid-players-for-2022-season-20220427-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Verlander,</a> and Julio Rodríguez</strong> are among the standout players this season, leaders in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/top-10-mlb-winning-pitchers-in-2022-20220502-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">many of the top categories</a>. Then there is the not so famous list of players who have gravely disappointed in 2022.</p>
<p>Here is a list of five of the biggest flops so far in the MLB 2022 season. <strong>These five players have a lot to think about going into the second half of the season.</strong></p>
<h2>Max Muncy</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_max_muncy_crop1655837184332.jpg_22069893_754571ca.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Max Muncy (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It has been a 2022 to forget for infielder Max Muncy, after a torn elbow ligament things have been pretty timid, with a batting average of just .153 and a dismal 4 home runs so far this season.</p>
<h2>Lou Trivino</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_lou_trivino_crop1655837112412.jpg_22069893_4af075bb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Lou Trivino (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>How much blame can right hander Lou Trivino really share playing for such a poor Athletics side? Trivino has a poor 1-5 record and an ERA of 8.66. Last season Trivino was a Reliever of the Month in the American League, this season things have not flowed well at all.</p>
<h2>Marcus Semien</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_marcus_semien_crop1655837063349.jpg_22069893_3456fb67.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Marcus Semien (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Marcus Semien’s move to the Texas Rangers have been widely disappointing with only a OBP of .288 and 6 home runs, not what you want from a player worth $175 million across seven years.</p>
<h2>Akil Baddoo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_akil_baddoo_crop1655836950396.jpg_22069893_d90363fb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Akil Baddoo (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Akil Baddoo was supposed to have his breakout season this year for the Detroit Tigers, but that did not happen as he was busted down to Triple A ball by May, only having a .140 batting average.</p>
<h2>Cody Bellinger</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220621_BUS_193640_cody_bellinger_crop1655836679218.jpg_22069893_8ea99a82.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=412" width="740" height="412"></figure><figcaption>    Cody Bellinger (Getty Images)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Cody Bellinger has simply not improved, with only 8 home runs and a OBP of .277, Bellinger is nowhere near the accolades he was at two years ago. Cody Bellinger should be one of his club’s best players but for now is riding the wave that is the Los Angeles Dodgers.</p>

<h2>The 5 Best MLB Players 25 Or Under</h2>

<h2>5. Juan Soto</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Juan Soto</strong> continues to make strides in The Big Show. While not considered an elite defender, his outs above average prove that he’s way better than most people think. Still, there’s no doubt that his swing is his biggest trait.</p>
<p>Soto is already one of the most feared and respected sluggers in the league. He was barely old enough to drink when he led the<strong> Washington Nationals</strong> to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mlb/mlb-all-time-world-series-champions-by-year-20200724-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Series</strong></a> title a couple of years ago.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>While some may consider him disrespectful,<strong> Ronald Acuña Jr </strong>is one of the few players that’s making baseball fun to watch again. He’s fierce, relentless, and it seems like he’s always on the verge of making the highlights.</p>
<p>It’s hard to put into words just how good Acuña Jr can be. He’s improved on every aspect of his game on a yearly basis and is one of the most athletic players out there. He’ll be<strong> an MVP candidate</strong> for years to come.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p>How many players can brag about playing a huge role in a World Series championship? Well, <strong>Cody Bellinger</strong> definitely can. In fact, most people find it hard to believe that he’s just 25 years old considering how good he’s been for some years now.</p>
<p>Not only Bellinger is one of the best defenders in his position while also giving the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-dodgers-t110773" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Dodgers</a> a lot of versatility due to his ability to play at the first base as well. He’s also a power hitter and <strong>there aren’t any kinds of flaws in his game.</strong></p>

<h2>2. Shane Bieber</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Shane Bieber</strong> had already put the world on notice during his 2019 campaign but he definitely took it up a notch in the shortened season, taking home the American League Cy Young award.</p>
<p>The Cleveland Indians star has one of the best strikeout-to-walk ratios in the Majors and his four-pitch repertoire maked him just impossible to read for the average hitter. Also, he’s shown his durability with<strong> multiple complete games and shutouts.</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<h2>1. Fernando Tatis Jr</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p>And, obviously, <strong>Fernando Tatis Jr</strong> has to be at the top of this list following his outstanding campaign in 2020. He’s the most entertaining player to watch in all baseball right now and his upside seems unlimited.</p>
<p>Tatis Jr significantly improved his defense while being one of the best offensive players in the world as well. He was an MVP candidate for most of last year and it’s only getting started, and that’s why the San Diego Padres tied him up with a <strong>massive contract extension.</strong></p>
