As we draw closer to the trade deadline, the New York Yankees are getting a first-class view of Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger.
Following two relatively weak seasons, Bellinger is making a significant comeback this year, rendering him an appealing trade target for the Yankees. Their need for a left-handed hitter to exploit the short right porch at Yankee Stadium further magnifies Bellinger’s potential value.
Fortunately, Bellinger is projected to be available at the deadline as he enters the final year of his contract, with a mutual option for the 2024 season.
