YANKEES FACE $260M CODY BELLINGER DILEMMA AS SCOTT BORAS PLAYS HARDBALL AGAIN
Will the Yankees cave to Cody Bellinger’s massive price tag? Inside the negotiations that could define the Bronx Bombers' 2026 season.
_1768087517.webp)
The Yankees want Cody Bellinger back; no secret there. But if that doesn’t happen, they’ve got their eyes on Bo Bichette as plan B. Still, bringing in Bichette comes with all kinds of headaches. Honestly, it’s risky. Meanwhile, let’s check out three Yankees who look ready to smash their 2026 projections.
This offseason has turned into a waiting game for the Yankees. Scott Boras is doing his usual thing, pushing Bellinger’s price into the stratosphere. Seven years, nearly $260 million? That’s treating Bellinger like he’s an MVP every season, and his career just doesn’t back that up. He’s streaky, and there’s always the risk he slides backwards. Sure, Yankee Stadium could boost his numbers, but shelling out almost $40 million a year for a guy who needs the right park to thrive? That’s a bet that could go south fast.
Then there’s the backup plan—Bo Bichette. On paper, paying $300 million for Bichette means you’re betting on him staying a top-tier shortstop for years. But the numbers say he’s not as reliable on defence as people think, and he might not even stick at short. Plus, with Anthony Volpe locked in at shortstop, adding Bichette would just create a mess. Someone like Jazz Chisholm gets squeezed out, and the team loses that athletic vibe they’ve been building. Bottom line: the Yankees need to show some restraint. Overpaying out of panic shuts championship windows quietly but quickly.
Three Yankees Ready to Blow Past 2026 Projections
Steamer’s 2026 projections see the Yankees as good but not quite there yet. Still, three guys could beat those numbers. First up, Ryan McMahon. He didn’t wow anyone last season, but dig a little deeper—better exit velocity, more barrels, and he’s hitting the ball in the air to his pull side more often. If the Yankees use him right, keeping him away from tough lefties, McMahon could quietly turn into a key bat at the bottom of the lineup.
On the pitching side, Will Warren’s projections look kind of meh, but there’s more upside than people think. He’s sharpened his fastball, and if he gets his secondary pitches working, he could follow the same path as other Yankee pitchers who took off after some tweaks. The boldest pick is Ben Rice. The projections predict a step back, but forget that. Rice hits the ball hard, doesn’t chase much, and his platoon splits aren’t a big problem. Give him a full season at first base, and he could get close to MVP levels.
Ben Rice Is Changing Everything
Rice has honestly flipped the script for the Yankees. In his first full year, he put up big numbers while splitting time between catcher and first, ending with a 133 wRC+—that’s elite company. With five years of team control left, the Yankees suddenly have a cheap star just as payroll is getting tighter.
The deeper numbers love Rice even more. He’s near the top in expected slugging, hard-hit rate, and exit velocity, but his batting average tanked because of some ridiculous defensive luck against him. Add in his great eye and low strikeout rate for a power hitter, and you’ve got a rare building block. Even if his glove at first is just okay, his bat is enough to make him a star. Once that luck evens out, Rice could be right in the MVP mix, all while giving the Yankees a ton of value.
THE DROP CRISIS: INSIDE JERRY JEUDY’S SHOCKING 18.8% DROP RATE DURING THE 2025 SEASON
Is Jerry Jeudy the problem? Analyse the Browns' 2026 offseason strategy, Shedeur Sanders’ future, and new coaching changes.
The Browns kick off their real offseason work next week at the draft combine. That’s when they dive into figuring out who’s actually out there on the free-agent and trade markets and what it’ll take to land some real upgrades.
Fixing the offence sits at the top of the to-do list. And sure, that starts with making a call at quarterback because it’s always about the quarterback in Cleveland. But honestly, the problems run deeper than just who lines up under centre. Shedeur Sanders, the guy with the job last year, probably got a raw deal. He played behind an offensive line held together with duct tape, lost his star running back Quinshon Judkins to a season-ending injury, and threw to receivers who were either too green or just didn’t seem to care.
Jerry Jeudy stands out among that last group. The Browns brought him in from Denver, paid him a fat three-year, $52.5 million contract, and watched him put up 1,229 yards in 2024. Then, in 2025, his game just collapsed. The effort and discipline disappeared.
The Browns can’t just cut Jeudy loose right now, so the hope is they can straighten him out and get him back to what he was; even a little closer to that would go a long way, no matter who wins the quarterback job.
That job fixing Jeudy falls to the new wide receivers coach, Christian Jones. Dan Labbe at Cleveland.com pointed out that Jeudy’s 12 drops and that ugly 18.8% drop rate last year don’t match up with the rest of his career. Maybe 2024 was the real Jeudy, and 2025 was just a bad year. Either way, Jones has to figure out what went wrong and fix it.
Jones isn’t new to the Browns. He started as the tight ends coach last year, then Todd Monken moved him over to receivers, a rare move, considering most of the offensive staff turned over. Jones worked with the Giants as a quarterbacks coach for the last couple of years, and before that, he helped coach receivers in Minnesota. He knows what it looks like when guys like Justin Jefferson or Adam Thielen are locked in.
The Browns don’t need another Jefferson, though adding some new blood at receiver is almost a sure thing in this draft. They’ve got young guys, Isaiah Bond, Malachi Corley, and Gauge Larvadain, brought in last year, and Jones will have to get them ready. Still, it starts at the top. They need Jeudy to show up, play hard, and set the tone. If he doesn’t, none of the other moves will matter much.
THE JETS CONNECTION: INSIDE THE AARON GLENN PLAN TO POACH ALEX ANZALONE FOR NEW YORK
Alex Anzalone is frustrated with Detroit! Analyse his social media spat and the Jets' plan to poach the veteran linebacker.
The Detroit Lions just watched two big pieces of their defence, Alex Anzalone and DJ Reader, hit free agency. Their contracts were officially voided this week, and now the team’s dealing with a bigger cap headache.
It’s not just a little setback, either. SI.com’s John Maakaron pointed out that the voided deals for Anzalone and Reader tack on another $4.9 million in dead cap for 2026. Altogether, the Lions are staring down $9.2 million in dead money for this upcoming season. That’s a tough pill to swallow, and it definitely makes the team’s decisions about both players a lot more complicated.
Even with the cap hit already locked in, the Lions could still try to bring Anzalone and Reader back. Starting March 9, during the legal tampering period, both guys can sit down with GM Brad Holmes and talk about new deals, assuming everyone’s interested.
But honestly, it’s starting to look like Alex Anzalone’s time in Detroit might be over. Greg Auman at Fox Sports thinks he’ll follow former Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn to the New York Jets. Anzalone’s been a staple in the middle of Detroit’s defence for five years, usually racking up around 14 starts and 98 tackles a season, and he’s done it for a pretty reasonable $6 million a year. But if Glenn really wants his old guys, and the Jets are calling, that might be all she wrote for Anzalone in Detroit.
There’s more. Zack Rosenblatt from The Athletic said on “Jets Final Drive” that the Jets are “actively” looking for players who already get Aaron Glenn’s style, guys like Anzalone and cornerback Amik Robertson. So that’s another sign the Jets are circling.
And things got even messier this week when Anzalone got into it with the Lions’ social media team. SI.com’s Christian Booher said Anzalone called out the team for leaving out his career-high nine pass breakups in a Valentine’s Day video that highlighted defensive plays, but none of his made the cut. He even pointed out that other free agents got featured, while he didn’t. He posted about it, then ended up deleting the comment, but you get the sense he wasn’t thrilled.
All signs are pointing to some big changes for Detroit’s defence and possibly a new home for Anzalone.
