New York Yankees GossipListeners, the Bronx is buzzing, and it’s not just about balls flying over the short porch. The New York Yankees are swimming in whispers, side-eyes, and behind-the-scenes drama that has everyone around the league talking.First, the ghost of Yankees past is suddenly taking center stage. Former Yankee Sonny Gray, now with the rival Boston Red Sox, told reporters he “never wanted to go” to New York and is thrilled to finally be somewhere it’s “easy to hate the Yankees,” according to Larry Brown Sports and MLB Network. That has some insiders quietly wondering if certain current pitchers in the clubhouse share his feelings but don’t dare say it out loud.Inside the front office, tension is quietly boiling. Locked On MLB recently highlighted Hal Steinbrenner’s comments that the Yankees are “not as profitable” as people think, just as talk of future labor battles and a possible push for a salary cap swirls around the sport. An anonymous source close to the team insists some veteran players are “rolling their eyes” at ownership crying poor while the brand prints money, hinting at a growing disconnect between the clubhouse and the suites upstairs.On the roster front, the Cody Bellinger saga is emerging as its own soap opera. Jon Heyman of the New York Post has already reported a “gap” in talks, and Marca says the Yankees are still seen as favorites, but nowhere close to a deal. One person familiar with the negotiations claims certain hitters are “watching every rumor” and worrying what a huge Bellinger contract would mean for their own futures and lineup spots.Then there’s the payroll puzzle that may be fueling quiet resentment. Stadium Rant recently noted that the Yankees may be trying to stay under a $300 million threshold, with Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole, and Giancarlo Stanton essentially immovable. According to that analysis, staying tight with money could mean no Bellinger, no Kyle Tucker, and serious questions about what to do with struggling youngster Anthony Volpe. A source close to the team murmurs that some veterans are “getting tired of waiting” for help while they burn prime years in pinstripes.And hovering over all of it? Speculation that the Yankees could try something wild at the Winter Meetings. Sports Illustrated relayed insider Jim Bowden’s bold prediction that the Yankees might pounce on Mets star closer Edwin Díaz in a blockbuster move, even though they already have David Bednar at the back end of the bullpen. One anonymous insider hints that “if that happens, somebody big is getting pushed out of a role, and not everyone is going to take that quietly.”Are the Yankees on the verge of a super-team makeover… or a full-on internal revolt if the front office hesitates again?Thank you for tuning in, listeners, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss tomorrow’s bombshells from the Bronx.This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
