The Cody Bellinger saga is finally over and it looks exactly like the deal we’ve been talking about for weeks.

On Yanks Go Yard, Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante break down the final Bellinger contract, why it’s an overpay but a rational one, why this was always a two-year reality, and why the process dragged on so long that it robbed the moment of any real joy.

Then we ask the obvious question: what’s next? With Ryan Weathers already in the fold, Freddy Peralta now off the board, and elite upside plays already gone, we look at what’s realistically left for the Yankees to do and whether it finally makes more sense to hold Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones rather than cashing them in.

Plus: quick hits on Joel Sherman’s offseason hints, bullpen priorities, and the increasingly cursed search for a right-handed catcher.

The Yankees finally made a pitching trade and now the real question is whether they’re actually finished.

On Yanks Go Yard, we break down the Ryan Weathers acquisition: the upside, the risk, the injury concerns, and why this feels like another project arm unless it’s paired with a bigger move. We also dive into conflicting reports around Freddy Peralta, what the Brewers might want now, and why the Red Sox landing Ranger Suárez should take them out of the Peralta sweepstakes, even if they’re still winning the AL East chess match.

Plus: quick hits on Cody Bellinger, opt-outs, and why the market still hasn’t moved.

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.
