Yankees willing to add multiple opt-outs in their Cody Bellinger pursuit

Yankees willing to add multiple opt-outs in their Cody Bellinger pursuit

January 16, 2026 / Liam Redmond /



The Yankees are signaling a wiliness to do not just one opt-out, but two opt-outs for Cody Bellinger in continuing efforts to bridge the long-standing issue of length of contract. 

So to recap, the Yankees will give a big signing bonus (attractive with CBA issues looming), no deferrals and now two opt-outs. 

They’ve offered about $155M over five years and would increase the money too. But Bellinger has been looking for seven years. 

Bellinger has countered the Yankees offer. (But that’s no guarantee. Alex Bregman countered Boston’s offer, too.)
