It is no secret the Yankees want to retain Cody Bellinger, and they are currently seen as the clear favorites to land him, according to MLB.com. At least week's GM Meetings, GM Brian Cashman said the Yankees would continue to pursue Bellinger even if Trent Grisham accepted the $22.025 million qualifying offer, which he did at Tuesday's deadline.

On Tuesday, ESPN MLB Insider Jeff Passan linked the Toronto Blue Jays to free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger in free agency.

Fansided’s Christopher Kline believes one possible replacement for Bellinger is the Los Angeles Angels three-time MVP Mike Trout. Trout is already a big bat, and when put in with a team of other big bats, his game will elevate.

Cody Bellinger’s free agency trade takes a sharp turn as the Philadelphia Phillies emerge as a strong NL East contender for his bat.

Cody Bellinger is preparing to test free agency, but a favorite has reportedly already emerged to sign him. The New York Yankees are seen as the “clear favorite” to retain Bellinger, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.

In an offseason of wide possibilities, but thus far tempered expectations from the Dodgers’ front office, Cody Bellinger represents something of a wild card in the team’s winter plans.

The Yankees are known to have interest in reuniting with Cody Bellinger, even after Trent Grisham accepted the qualifying offer yesterday, but they will have competition. Bellinger has already been connected to the Mets and Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the Blue Jays and Dodgers have interest in him as well.

The New York Yankees reportedly will have some major competition if they hope to retain veteran outfielder Cody Bellinger this offseason.

Cody Bellinger couldn’t have asked for a better start to his major league career. Bellinger splashed onto the scene in 2017 with a 39-home run rookie campaign, giving the Dodgers two consecutive NL Rookie of the Year award winners.
