  • Hello and welcome to my channel! In this video, I go over how the Yankees could make a very SMART Decision, or very DUMB decision. Cody Bellinger would either be a blessing, or a curse.

    Yea there is no way they sign Belli at this point, that rumor was clearly spread by Bellinger's team to push the Cubs to make a deal. It would make no sense.

      Correct it’s pushed by boras. Scott uses the yanks to make other teams get nervous into upping their bids because supposedly New York is involved .

    The only way this could be true is if Bellinger really wanted to be a Yankee all along and is now willing to take a team friendly deal to do it. Think somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 years $140 million. His Dad was a Yankee during their glory years (during Cody's formative years), so it's not an altogether far-fetched notion that Cody could have grown up a Yankees fan. If this is indeed true, the Yankees would need to shed salary to even consider it. This would involve moving both Trent Grisham and Alex Verdugo for prospects. Doing so would save the Yankees $14m that they could earmark for Bellinger, and it would make them a markedly better team. Judge could resume playing RF (where he belongs), Soto in LF, Bellinger in CF. Having Bellinger under contract would also cover the Yankees in the event that Soto eventually leaves or Rizzo can't rebound. It's definitely an idea worth exploring.
    All that said, it's more likely that this is a story planted by Boras to drive up Bellinger's market.

  • @Parlimant_Strifey
    @Parlimant_Strifey Před 5 měsíci +3

    The Yanks have a budget, they cannot afford Bellinger. This isn't George's team, they've already overspent too much under the league of Steinbrenner sons .

    • @snerdterguson
      @snerdterguson Před 5 měsíci

      George never had thresholds. And I can't believe I have to keep saying this. There are penalties beyond the financial ones for exceeding it.
      Also, fans have completely forgotten how bad George was for years. How much he set the team back with dumb move after dumb move. How the only reason we had a dynasty in the 90s at all was that George was suspended and couldn't trade Bernie Williams like he wanted to.
      George was great in his way, because he wore his heart on his sleeve. But when your payroll is the highest in franchise history, I would argue that's showing how much Hal wants to win.

  • @nixn6412
    @nixn6412 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Belli is the move, stacking up with hitters allows leeway in the pitching. Play him at first. Rizzo/Stanton don’t perform well enough to be guaranteed abs anymore. And ain’t no way on this Earth would a Belli contract affect the Soto pursuit. It’s the Yankees man. Ain’t no pop and shop.

  • @JackTubeJJJ

      How is Bellinger in the "can't go wrong" category with his injury history and completely inconsistent play?
      And Snell would upgrade the rotation, but he's a 5 inning mid rotation quality starter for most of his career with a couple sensational years thrown in.
      Both of those deals could go incredibly wrong in a very easily predicted way.
