The Yankees say they’re prepared for Cody Bellinger to sign elsewhere — but do we actually believe that?

On Yanks Go Yard, we break down the Buster Olney report suggesting the Yankees have moved on from Bellinger, why it feels eerily similar to the Mets’ Pete Alonso trial balloon last offseason, and whether the Yankees can really walk away when the market still hasn’t materialized. We also react to Alex Bregman’s surprise deal with the Cubs, why it gives Scott Boras leverage, and whether rumored pivots to Kyle Tucker or Bo Bichette pass even the slightest smell test.
