After word of the Yankees' five-year, $30M+ per season Cody Bellinger offer leaked ahead of the weekend, it certainly seemed like the team was getting frustrated, and the proposed deal was intended to be their best-and-final. That appeared doubly true after Buster Olney reported Saturday night that the team planned to operate as if Bellinger was going to sign elsewhere.
However, the new week has begun with a flurry of activity in the opposite direction. After Alex Bregman's Cubs contract provided both a distraction and a reason to believe Bellinger could get seven years, it appears the Yankees have not cut off contact with Scott Boras regarding his most familiar untethered client.
