The New York Yankees acquired outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger in a trade with the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, continuing to stock up on high-end talent in the wake of outfielder Juan Soto's free agent defection to the New York Mets, sources told ESPN.

In the deal, the Yankees will receive $5 million to offset Bellinger's salary -- he will make $27.
