Cody Bellinger expressed his excitement after being traded to the New York Yankees, a team his father, Clay Bellinger, once played for. The father-son duo will join the ranks of other notable Yankees family pairs.

Bellinger, a former NL MVP, aims to contribute significantly to the Yankees lineup, showing versatility in his playing positions. He acknowledges the challenges he faced while playing at Wrigley Field and looks forward to the opportunities at Yankee Stadium.

With a strong supporting cast, including reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge, Bellinger is optimistic about enhancing his performance in New York.

The New York Yankees have acquired Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs in a trade that also involves financial compensation. This move is seen as a significant opportunity for the Yankees, who hope Bellinger's left-handed power will thrive in Yankee Stadium.

While Bellinger has had inconsistent performances in recent years, his potential for a strong season makes this a worthwhile gamble for New York. The Cubs, meanwhile, save over $27 million and may look to reinvest that money in pitching options.
