Jon Heyman needs to stop with the click bait garbage. The "baseball insider" is grasping at straws. It's annoying. The Yankees need alot of fixes to right the ship right now, but what they don't need is a .250 hitter named Cody Bellinger. And not only did he suggest Bellinger... his nugget is madness.
"If the Cubs sell, Cody Bellinger, a free agent after 2023, may be a nice fit for the Yankees as a left-handed hitter who could man left field and give the Yankees one of the game’s best defensive outfields.In the meantime, Billy McKinney and Jake Bauers have been two of their more productive players lately. Bellinger’s dad Clay won two rings with the late ’90s Yankees."
So, break this down. "IF THE CUBS SELL". So right there it's a fantasy trade. There's no conversation between the Cubs and Yanks. There's nothing.
Number 2... "Billy McKinney and Jake Bauers have been two of their more productive players lately." Right. So why are we entertaining your made-up trade idea?
Three... "Bellinger’s dad Clay won two rings with the late ’90s Yankees."
AND? What does that mean? So, his dad played for the Yankees, so Cody now makes sense? It's ridiculous.
Non-story. Garbage. Not worth your time. The fact that the New York Post actually allows him to even put this in print is embarrassing.
Look, the Yanks need to figure it out with what we have already. It's not gonna be easy, but adding money to our payroll, having big names coming in with star power and not much more is not really what we need to do right now. We need to figure out how to win with what we have. Heyman is right... guys like McKinney and Bauers are doing good things... so adding a star for literally the only reason of selling some jerseys is so ridiculous.
We will be fine. We probably won't make the playoffs this year, but would we with Cody Bellinger? Give me a break.
