Aye not even that… he was comeback player of the year in 2023 while hitting .307. Then last year he was VERY solid last year at .266 while playing good D
@hunttuff4240 it is dumb dumb.. statue of liberty, WTC, best food, clubs, I was born in Brooklyn, have family in all five boroughs and have been around the world a few times 🫡. NYC is definitely the greatest city in the world. HOW YA DOIN
This was a salary dump by the Cubs. They didn't want him to opt in and when he did it was made clear that they would try and trade him. Cubs now have money freed up for deals later on
Yeah, but if he does what he did in Chicago, and nothing more, 20 million isn't out of line. And odds are, health provided, his power numbers go up a bit. He's got a good swing to take advantage of the short porch. I wouldn't be shocked if at the end of the year he looks like he's underpaid... Based on where the market is now of course.
He will do very well in Yankee Stadium with the short rightfield porch. He doesn't have to alter his swing either as he is a natural pull hitter and hits to right center as well. And he will get plenty of protection hitting behind Judge. Great acquisition by the Yankees
I am a Dodger fan. Smart move by Yankees defensively. Bellinger to centerfield where as Dodger fans we saw him cover a ton of territory and help lower pitchers' eras. Aaron Judge can go back to his natural right field now that Soto is gone.
Judge being able to go back to the gut is the part of this that isn't talked about enough. He was OK in center, given his size and not great speed. But in right, he's actually a plus defender. With less ground to cover, he can basically get to everything, he's got the cannon still and I don't know that I've ever seen anyone better at robbing homers than he is. Looking forward to seeing him back where he belongs. And looking forward to seeing Cody. I hope his fathers old number is available, that would be cool.
Yanks still have some big holes to fill, but anybody hating on this deal is insane especially when you look at what they gave up. Most realistic people aren't expecting him to magically return to his prime 2019 form, but if he can stay on the field a healthy Bellinger hitting in front of Judge and playing half his games at Yankee Stadium should be a lock for 30 HR. He also has a solid glove in the outfield although it's still unsure where he'll play exactly.
I’ve been saying for years that Bellinger would fit perfectly at Yankee Stadium. His pulling power is amazing and he’s an elite outfielder. Granted, he’s no Juan Soto by any means but putting him to bat in front of Judge and Stanton is definitely a huge boost to the lineup.
He's not better than Soto offensively, that is 100% accurate, but Bellinger is much better defensively, better baserunner and can play 2 positions while still providing good/great defense.
@@jackkerfoot8693 Maybe I’m confused but Bellinger hit WAY better than Verdugo and other left fielders we’ve had in recent years such as Hicks and Gallo
Bellinger is an improvement over Verdugo. He’s best at defense and any hitting you get is a bonus. It gets Judge out of CF so that helps. He just doesn’t help the lineup that much when you just lost Soto. There’s no replacing that production in the 2 spot.
And what did everyone forget when he hit .210 and .165 in 2022 and 2021? And did everyone forget that cracked ribs are the kind of injury that pretty much linger for the rest of your life?
@@nogodsnomasters666 Freeing up $ is one thing, but I'd be amazed if there weren't better offers out there, even if they had to pay a little more $. I'd pay an extra couple million to essentially buy a better prospect.
Even so, that was a very small return. And I like Poteet. Decent depth pitcher in case of an emergency. I expected the Cubs to insisting at least a young prospect with upside. Poteet is the oldest player in the trade.
Literally a couple days ago in my MLB the show 24 franchise mode with my yanks, I traded for bellinger and that season he won MVP and we won the World Series. Just barely.
I never even realized Clay was his dad until the Yankees got him. Then I was like wait a minute....Bellinger..Yankees...Bellinger....Clay...Bellinger....Cody...let me Goog...oh, no way!!
I respect that, I always been a player type of fan. Now i lived around as a kid so I knew different teams. I look,at what they are doing they are making this pitching roster like the 90s braves.
That short porch is hopefully gonna light up his eyes and bring him back to his old MVP form from a few years ago plus if he takes his old Dodgers number and his dad's old yankees number #35 and that should bring back some nice memories even though its coming from the left side of the plate instead of the right side like his dad Clay Bellinger was as a hitter
If Cashy wants to really go outside of the box....... sign Corbin Burnes. Dominate on the hill. Seriously. Burnes would provide a dominant rotation. Unstoppable (see;Braves, Smoltz,Glavine, Maddox)
I like getting Lowe, but play Cabrera at third, provided there's nothing better they can get reasonably, and Jazz goes to second. I wouldn't mind having Berti at third either. Not sure if he's still available or still on our roster, I forgot.
Let’s hope Cody thrives in the Bronx so that we can forget Soto. The Yankees can now spend money on getting quality players (hopefully). The more I hear of what Soto demanded and got from the Mets, the more unbelievably it is. Private jet travel to and from games for his entire family, 24 hour security for family, clothing allowance for his mother, private suite at Yankee Stadium for the entire family, and more. The Yankees response when he asked for a private suite to be included: “you’re getting all this money and you can’t pay for your own suite”. I guess that was a straw that broke the cameras back.
The question wouldn't be why are the Cubs trading Bellinger if he's still an impact player the question would be why are the Cubs settling for so little in return? But then there is such a thing as a salary dump
Because they have Suzuki, Happ, Tucker and Armstrong... And Cody was paid more than any of them. If Happ were the highest paid, he would have been the one traded. And everyone knew it, so the Cubs had like no leverage.
Chicago cubs should not have had to pay to give a playoff type player away with high home run and hit total when healthy for a full year, I think this will work out good for both teams in the end
As a Yankee fan. we get too excited for players that are no longer the same. He's not that great anymore. Which is why cubs had no problem trading him.
The Cubs were trading him because they've got a stacked outfield and he was the most expensive part of it. If Ian Happ was the highest paid, he would be the one they tried moving.
Kenny asks why trade him for just this guy instead of keeping n having more good players? Heyman says they have Busch at 1st so had to trade him. Instead of saying Ricketts being cheap and it's a cash dump like darvish.
These are professional athletes playing at the highest level of their sport making millions. I don’t really think either of them care. Only people like you do
Of course he is you dolt. His being on the Yankees upgrades the defense in center and right, because it allows Judge to slide back where he's been a great defensive player. He's not replacing Soto. Nobody is. They have to replace him in the aggregate. You're not getting his production out of one player. So you look at him combined with Verdugo, Rizzo, Gleyber. And you try to fund 4 guys who combine to match, or at least approach, what you got last year.
While the Yankees build a formidable team My O’s twitter their thumbs. So much for the new ownership group going all in to bring a WS back to Charm City
I believe length of contract was a factor. They want a spot for Spencer Jones in the next year or so. He's also still in his prime for a couple more years a very good defensive player, and in the last two years batted .286 and averaged 20+ HR and about 90 RBI... And he's a rally good base runner. And on top of it all, he's got plenty of playoff experience and he's performed very well there.
Are there more moves to come Heyman? I would love it.. but Belli is 23M.. the Yanks would have to dump Marcus salary to get ANY decent 1st or 3rd base player. Yanks are only 7M away from Cohen tax... they still have arbitration and trade deadline to consider.
Jon Berti is still out there in free agency. He is not gonna be all that expensive probably. And it makes no real sense because he's a great defender, with great speed who makes contact. But you're right that to stay under the threshold they'll need to dump salary. And Stroman is easily the most expendable player on the current 40 man.
Respect for being fair. This trade will really show which people are just Cashman haters. Because any Yankee fan whining about this move is just hating Cashman as a matter of course. With where contracts are going, 22 million for Bellinger is not a bad contract at all.
If Bellinger is going to play CF then Dominguez is going to be in LF and he wasn't very good there last year. CF is his natural position so he will have to improve defensively in LF. I think they will get Christian Walker to play 1st base because he's great defensively and that's where the Yankees need to improve the most. Keep Jazz at 3B and get a good 2B and let's roll.
@snerdterguson He was very good at 3B having NEVER played there before and with some experience there now he will be even better. I don't want Arenado or Bregman. I like Christian Walker at 1B and they can get a 2nd baseman.
A distraction? Never heard a story of someone that didn’t like belli, he is an amazing mentor, look a PCA. He gave the cubs what they were looking for, one amazing year and one average year.
Belli can be hot and cold. His bad seasons have been BAD though. and his postseason batting has been atrocious. If the Yankees can keep him healthy and happy he will be a threat.
Yankees were really healthy last year. They started the year without Cole, but outside of that, they had no significant injuries until like July. Schmidt and Gil got injured. The really nothing the rest of the year. Nobody that was expected to be a year long starter got hurt and missed extended time, outside of them. Tell me the teams that didn't have starting pitchers hit the IL for a month plus.
I must say as yankee fan this off season is fun and exciting. Soto would have crippled financially. Now it’s like who we getting??? Get me all lefty bats for Christmas and I’ll be happy. With a chance to get Tucker in near future
Why would you be sorry for him? He wanted to be a Yankee since he was a kid watching his dad play leftfield on championship teams. I'm sure he was perfectly happy to be traded to NY.
This is not a Good move by The yankees. He is no where near The same player anymore. Plus Yankees did stanton wrong by getting a player who married Stanton's ex gf, And then they show that awkard picture of judge, Stanton, bellinger as if they are best friends?😅 And I don't care how long ago it was 5 or 6 years ago. You just don't make a move like that out of respect for your players. You want to win a WS or become a side show distraction in The clubhouse? Like how is this move good? His wife should even be more embarssed. She's been with two men in that Clubhouse when in the past and one in the present. Glad my mom raised me not to sleep around the league. Smh
If he just does in NY what his average year was for Chicago, this was a steal. If he takes advantage of the porch and somehow returns to what he was at his best, it joins the ranks of Ryan for Fregosi, Robinson for Pappas, Right or the money to bankroll a musical... as one of the most lopsided trades in history.
Hes going to have a whole new drive to him you watch hes 29 in his prime just got signed to the greatest baseball franchise ever. Im all in in cody bellinger 2019 is just the start. This his year.
Why do so many people use lifetime playoff rate stats and act like that tells you whether a guy was good in the playoffs. You can bat .500 in the playoffs and have no meaningful impact, and you can go 2 for 10 and be the MVP. WHEN you get hits is the biggest thing in October. Also, like most MLB payers with a lot of playoff experience, he has games, series and years where he's bad, ones where he's ok and ones where he plays at an MVP level.

agree
These analyses-"mercurial." You might mention that he cracked 2 ribs vs the center field wall and also had a fractured finger last year.
and was coming off shoulder surgery when he played for the Dodgers (statistically, his worst years)

I don’t see bellinger as a center fielder given the fact that Dominguez s issues in left . Jason in cf is probably better for the team

as a dodgers fan take care of him ny and hope belli makes an all star game
As a dodger fan, I think it’s a good move for the Yankees, better then Soto they saved millions of money
His down years were from his injury / surgery but he's a baller and will impress!
Bring #Alonso Home..
This team is getting older and older.
What about Jasson Dominguez. Yankees better not screw up that kid with their panic rebuild
Yeah, his HR numbers will explode now that he's out of of Wrigley, notorious for keeping HRs down.
First time in the American League…he will hit 40 this yr as a Yankee
Brian used DRS to hype up Bellinger’s defense even tho OAA he was a 0 last year. Slightly better than average, but not great
Max Fried… Cody Bellinger all they need now is Christian Walker at 1st
Cody probably had some nagging injuries and played through them, but instead of going all out, he played it safe so he didnt miss time
Lets get Lowe for 1st base and just leave Csbrera at 2nd base
I like getting Lowe, but play Cabrera at third, provided there's nothing better they can get reasonably, and Jazz goes to second.
I wouldn't mind having Berti at third either. Not sure if he's still available or still on our roster, I forgot.
Let’s hope Cody thrives in the Bronx so that we can forget Soto. The Yankees can now spend money on getting quality players (hopefully).

This trade will really show which people are just Cashman haters. Because any Yankee fan whining about this move is just hating Cashman as a matter of course. With where contracts are going, 22 million for Bellinger is not a bad contract at all.
Now Bellinger get to pay homage to his former teammate by participating in the Yankee's "Mookie Betts Curse".
Cody is one of the best 1st basemen in the league when he plays
If Bellinger is going to play CF then Dominguez is going to be in LF and he wasn't very good there last year. CF is his natural position so he will have to improve defensively in LF. I think they will get Christian Walker to play 1st base because he's great defensively and that's where the Yankees need to improve the most. Keep Jazz at 3B and get a good 2B and let's roll.
If you're interested in fixing infield defense, you should move Jazz to second where he's much better.
@snerdterguson He was very good at 3B having NEVER played there before and with some experience there now he will be even better. I don't want Arenado or Bregman. I like Christian Walker at 1B and they can get a 2nd baseman.
I'd rather a one-year flier on a vet like Carlos Santana at 1B over committing long-term to Walker.
As a cub fan I’m glad he’s gone. Too much distraction in the club house. I would hate to see him screw the cubs like Biase did to the tigers
A distraction? Never heard a story of someone that didn’t like belli, he is an amazing mentor, look a PCA. He gave the cubs what they were looking for, one amazing year and one average year.

His wife should even be more embarssed. She's been with two men in that Clubhouse when in the past and one in the present. Glad my mom raised me not to sleep around the league. Smh
If he just does in NY what his average year was for Chicago, this was a steal. If he takes advantage of the porch and somehow returns to what he was at his best, it joins the ranks of Ryan for Fregosi, Robinson for Pappas, Right or the money to bankroll a musical... as one of the most lopsided trades in history.
Do you have something against women? You sound upset like it should've been you instead of her
THIS IS BASEBALL ⚾️ NOT LOVE N HIPHOP SLAP NUTS THEY'LL BE FINE
Bad trade for the Cubs.
Cubs did not get enough in return. They sent 5 million to the Yankees too.
Hes going to have a whole new drive to him you watch hes 29 in his prime just got signed to the greatest baseball franchise ever. Im all in in cody bellinger 2019 is just the start. This his year.
Who’s next?
Yankees need to sign Pete Alonso 1B to lengthen their lineup
He is rancid.
No they should sign Christian Walker
Cashman is finally doing some work! Should be a steal
*Bellinger* debuted a year earlier than *Ohtani,* yet the difference in their WAR is 19.3. He’s the definition of a *one-hit wonder.😅*
Considering he's had 3 top 10 MVP seasons, I think you fail that vocabulary test.
Wow what a Pick-up #LGY
Yankees got another playoff guy who blows lol
Why do so many people use lifetime playoff rate stats and act like that tells you whether a guy was good in the playoffs. You can bat .500 in the playoffs and have no meaningful impact, and you can go 2 for 10 and be the MVP. WHEN you get hits is the biggest thing in October. Also, like most MLB payers with a lot of playoff experience, he has games, series and years where he's bad, ones where he's ok and ones where he plays at an MVP level.
