In a significant offseason move, the New York Yankees have acquired outfielder Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Cody Poteet and $5 million. This acquisition follows the loss of Juan Soto, who signed a record 15-year deal with the Mets. Bellinger, a former NL MVP, will fill the center field position for the Yankees. The Cubs' trade of Bellinger comes after their own acquisition of star outfielder Kyle Tucker, marking a pivotal moment in the MLB offseason.
