The New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger have reached what seems to be an insurmountable sticking point. The highly decorated outfielder reportedly wants his seven-year, big-money deal, and the Yankees have drawn their line in the sand and refuse to rise to his terms.
That should have the Yankees willing to look at other alternatives, right? After all, they've at least been linked to Bo Bichette, and if they need to pivot away from Bellinger, the only other top outfielder in free agency is Kyle Tucker.
However, it's not that simple. There have been some discrepancies in the reports about how serious the Yankees are about Bichette.
