I can usually find ways to rationalize even some of the more outlandish rumors that crop up, but the latest report from Joel Sherman of the New York Post has me scratching my head. He opens on a very strong note, saying the Yankees should pursue Cody Bellinger whether they sign Juan Soto or not. Maybe it’s just because I’ve been saying for a long time that a Bellinger-Yankees pairing is a great fit, but I really think this one might have legs.
We also know that the Cubs are actively working to move Bellinger, whether it’s the Yankees or one of at least two other teams that have inquired about him.
