Schoenfield predicted that the New York Mets would sign Bellinger to a six-year, $180 million contract. The two-time All-Star hit .272 with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs, and an .813 OPS for the Yankees last season, and he opted out of his contract following the World Series.

According a leading MLB free agency expert, the price for the New York Yankees to re-sign free agent Cody Bellinger just went up.

The New York Mets are reportedly pursuing former Yankee Cody Bellinger to bolster their outfield after a quiet offseason that saw key departures.

The 30-year-old Bellinger hit .272 with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs, and an .813 OPS in 152 games for the Yankees. His 5.1 bWAR marked his highest total since his NL MVP campaign with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2019, and he emerged as a fan favorite. However, Hoch said there is “definitely” a ceiling to what the Yankees would give Bellinger.

Bellinger could be a much-needed versatile outfielder in the Dodgers' setup. They currently only have Teoscar Hernandez and Andy Pages guaranteed to start in the outfield. LA could move out utility man Tommy Edman to center field from time to time, but getting a permanent slugger like their former MVP could secure their future.

Following the shocking Winter Meetings that were headlined by the departure of Pete Alonso, the New York Mets need an outfielder and a first baseman to stabilize the lineup. Cody Bellinger could fill both of those needs.

The New York Yankees have set conditions to re-sign Cody Bellinger, weighing his contract demands amid strong interest from multiple MLB teams this offseason.
