Max Fried. Devin Williams. And now Cody Bellinger. The Yankees have been quite busy in the post-Juan Soto marketplace. But they are still looking for more. And with Bellinger able to play outfield or first base, general manager Brian Cashman has multiple options.
Sounds simple. At the beginning of the season, MLB.com researchers and analysts were asked to answer the question: Who will be the best players in baseball this season? Here’s how they did.
Devin Williams and his diabolical “Airbender” changeup are now in the Bronx, and the two-time All-Star closer said “it’s a tremendous honor to be able to play for this organization.”
Hayden Wesneski was golfing in a suburb of Houston, his hometown, when he got word he was being traded from the Cubs to the Astros. As he said, “It’s just a dream come true kind of thing.”
Cody Bellinger won’t be the first member of his family in pinstripes. His dad, Clay Bellinger, won two World Series with the Yankees in 1999 and 2000. Further, Clay and Cody will be the fourth father-son duo to play for the franchise.
Some high-ranked prospects have been on the move in trades this offseason. If they are new to your team, here’s where you can get to know all about them.
