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.
