Yankees Stand Firm on Cody Bellinger Offer

The New York Yankees are reportedly standing firm on their five-year, $150 million offer to Cody Bellinger, while Bellinger's camp seeks seven guaranteed years. The Blue Jays and Mets are also negotiating with Bellinger. The Yankees are considering pivoting to the trade market, potentially targeting Freddy Peralta, if a deal for Bellinger doesn't materialize. The Yankees' lineup without Bellinger appears thin, relying on potential growth from younger players.
