Cashman says Yankees keen to retain Bellinger
LAS VEGAS — A year after centering their offseason around retaining Juan Soto, the New York Yankees' list of priorities this winter begins with another prized outfielder expected to field considerable interest in the free agent market: Cody Bellinger.
While Bellinger won't land nearly the record-setting contract Soto signed, he will have a robust selection of potential destinations, and the Yankees aren't hiding their desire to re-sign him.
"We're very interested in bringing him back," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Wednesday.
Cashman spoke to reporters on a video call from the East Coast while members of his front office and peers around the majors congregated for the annual general manager meetings in Nevada this week. The event, the unofficial start of the hot stove season, allows for clubs and agents to set the foundation for deals in the trade and free agent markets.
Cashman: Yanks' returning-player decisions will 'take some time'
The baseball world’s decision-makers descended upon the Las Vegas Strip this week, filling the hallways of the Cosmopolitan, but Brian Cashman was more than a thousand miles from the casino action.
A last-minute personal issue kept the Yankees general manager in New York, but with several lieutenants on the ground in Nevada, Cashman said his club is well-positioned to lay its groundwork for the winter ahead.
“I’m staying connected via phone with other clubs and agents,” Cashman said via Zoom. “You gather as much early information [as possible], but it seems like what usually plays out is, it’s going to take some time. Once we start heading to the Winter Meetings in Orlando, hopefully we’ll have a pretty clear definition of what’s going on.”

That also means a steady supply of rumors, most of which center on free agency and trades (along with the occasional hiring and firing). Speaking of which, you can find Wednesday's supply just below.
The Yankees are hoping to re-sign free agent outfielder Cody Bellinger after he turned in a strong 5.1-WAR campaign in the Bronx this past season, but they're not his only suitors.
Bellinger is 30 and has rebuilt his value after his career seemed to crater in 2021 and 2022. He now he figures to be one of the most coveted position players on the market this winter. The Yankees of course want him back, but there will be competition for his services. The crosstown Mets figure to be one of those with interest in Bellinger, the New York Post's Jon Heyman reports.
