Kuty: The Yankees have a 5 year, $160M offer with a signing bonus and opt outs after years 2 and 3. Boras still wants 7 with a higher AAV. Yankees are exploring pivots on the trade market.

Sammon: The Mets are only interested in Bellinger on a short term deal. He notes it’s unknown if Bellinger is interested in one. My educated guess is Bellinger wants years and the Mets do not want to offer them.

i hate the pats. stroud sucks

A Bellinger update:

From the Atlanta Braves: INF Ha-Seong Kim sustained a hand injury while in Korea and underwent surgery to repair a torn tendon in his right middle finger. The procedure was performed by Dr. Gary Lourie today in Atlanta, and the expected recovery time is 4-5 months.

The Hot Stove just reached a boiling point. 🔥 🔹 Kyle Tucker ➡️ #Dodgers (The rich get richer!) 🔹 Bo Bichette ➡️ #Mets (The perfect pivot?) 🔹 Elly De La Cruz ➡️ Rejects record #Reds extension. Full breakdown: lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202... via @LastWordonSport.bsky.social & @IBWAA.bsky.social

@RotoChamp project the 2026 AL East Standings. The #Yankees are projected to win the AL East and 91 games. Reminder: The Yankees have made no significant additions to the roster as of 4:07 on Jan. 17th.

Did someone say #2016 Trend??

Yesterday, #Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. announced he will play for Team Great Britain in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202... via @LastWordonSport.BSKY.Social, @LWOSBaseball.BSKY.Social @IBWAA.BSKY.Social

Great story by @ctrent.bsky.social Scott Boras is De La Cruz’s agent. If he does not allow these small market teams to lock up their icons, the sport will be demolished. I never thought I’d say it, but MLB needs a Salary Cap and Floor.

Per @Shawn_Spradling, #Yankees INF Jazz Chisholm Jr. will play for Team Great Britain in the WBC.

Per The Athletic: "The Phillies were willing to readjust everything for Bichette, but absent him, they are now unlikely to add a meaningful position player." Guess that answers the concerns about Philly swooping in on Bellinger.

The #Phillies are checking in on Cody Bellinger, per @Alexcoll_. The #Yankees have some competition.

Onley on the Kay Show: "Given what the Blue Jays have with their outfield depth , I don't think there going to extend theirselves for Bellinger" "They [Yankees] love him to the degree they have a 5 year deal, but do they love him for 7 years, no."

With Kyle Tucker going to the Dodgers, the Cody Bellinger market could become more crowded. Given how outspoken the Yankees have been about wanting Bellinger back, the Yankees need to close this deal ASAP before other teams swoop in. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

This is a chart from @TJStats.BSKY.Social projecting each team's WAR based on FanGraphs Depth Chart. The Yankees are in the top three, and are very close to the Blue Jays. If they add Bellinger back, and a starter like Peralta, they will jump them.

I said this a month ago. If you did not listen, fine. Joel Sherman said it the following morning. The #Yankees were not going after Tucker because of the character concerns. They are haunted by the Ellsbury contract. lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202...

Tucker to LA!!

Heyman: The #Yankees have NOT made an offer to OF Kyle Tucker. It looks like it’s down to 3 • Mets • Dodgers • Jays

What's next for the #Yankees after acquiring Ryan Weathers? lastwordonsports.com/baseball/202... via @LastWordonSport.bsky.social @LWOSBaseball.bsky.social @IBWAA.bsky.social

Heyman: The #Yankees have "Checked In" on LHP Framber Valdez.

“The name that stands out to me, above all is Freddy Peralta” - Robert Murray on the Yankees not being done after the Weathers trade.

Boston signing Suarez also gives the #Yankees a better chance of winning the Freddy Peralta Trade Sweepstakes. Read more about Peralta's fit in NY here: subwaysportsnetwork.blog/2026/01/05/y...

Ranger Suárez has a record of 1-1 with a 2.35 era and 8 K's in 3 appearances (1 start) vs. NYY. Yeah, the AL East will be tough and the Yankees need to punch back. What they have is not enough.

The #Yankees have a boatload of depth they could trade from. BRING ME FREDDY P!!!

Now updated with the Harbaugh Details from today: subwaysportsnetwork.blog/2026/01/05/t...

Per @AdamSchefter: John Harbaugh will be in the Giants building today for his first in-person interview. DON'T LET HIM LEAVE.

Some Ryan Weathers Highlights: #Yankees #RepBX

From @JeffPassan: "Re-signing Bellinger is the most obvious and likely outcome, even if the Yankees are stuck on giving him five years and Bellinger is seeking seven. If no deal materializes, there's ample reason to pursue Tucker"

We are now officially closer to the MLB Season then we were to the end of the Postseason. FEED. ME. YANKEES. BASEBALL!

I mentioned this on Christmas Eve as a starter option for the #Yankees -- #Reds LHP Nick Lodolo 🔹Multiple years of control 🔹Good ERA away from GABP 🔹Reds need an OF -- The Yankees have some to offer Read More Here: subwaysportsnetwork.blog/2025/12/24/w...

Curry: The #Yankees are looking to bring in a starter. 🔷 Like Peralta, High Price 🔷 Like Gore, "Not as Gaudy resume as Peralta" The prices will be high on both.

Curry: The #Yankees have made a call to BOTH Bo Bichette and Kyle Tucker. The Yankees SHOULD NOT be considered the favorite in either of those negotiations.

BRING BACK THE MASTER BADER!!

From Jack Curry's tone, it really seems like the #Yankees are trying to find an external addition for the outfield before going to Dominguez/Jones. Goes to show how they value those two

This story is now updated with the new details about the #Yankees interest in Peralta: @IBWAA subwaysportsnetwork.blog/2026/01/05/y...
