Bellinger or Bust: Yankees' Offseason on the Brink!

Listen "Bellinger or Bust: Yankees' Offseason on the Brink!"

Episode Synopsis

BT & Sal unleash a fiery debate on the Yankees' offseason, arguing the entire success of their winter hinges on re-signing free agent Cody Bellinger. Sal insists the team has "no excuse" to lose Bellinger after already whiffing on Juan Soto last year, demanding the Yankees get aggressive now and exceed the market if necessary. Tierney agrees, noting that losing Bellinger would make their already unclear roster situation "very worrisome."

The hosts also pivot to a bigger picture, asking: "Is Bellinger enough?" They propose bold moves like trading for a true leadoff hitter like Steven Kwan and questioning the Yankees' self-imposed limitation at third base with Ryan McMahon when a proven winner like Alex Bregman is available. They conclude that without Bellinger and further aggressive action, the Yankees risk simply starting the next season with the same flawed team.
