The New York Yankees are trying to re-sign Cody Bellinger for the 2026 MLB season. In 2025, Bellinger thrived in New York, posting a .272 average, 29 home runs, and 98 runs batted in over 152 games. So, what is the latest on the Yankees' pursuit of the 30-year-old outfielder?
According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman , the Yankees are making a "big effort" to re-sign Bellinger to a contract this winter. If New York is able to complete a deal, it would likely mean more transactions are on the way. The Yankees would have Bellinger, Aaron Judge , Trent Grisham , Jasson Dominguez , and Spencer Jones on the roster.

There aren't many better fits for New York than Bellinger, so the organization is rightfully pushing to find a way around the outfield logjam. This has put other teams in the mix to sign the former National League MVP, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels .
New York has the money to re-sign Bellinger, but it would take other movement to make this a logical fit. Plus, Bellinger's strong season has created a very intriguing free agency market. Bellinger hopes to cash in after a great 2025 MLB season, and the Yankees are still trying their best to bring him back.
