MLB: Cody Bellinger and Brandon Belt, Yankees options to replace Voit in the 1B?

After a drought that continues to grow over the years, without being able to lift the trophy of champion of the World Series since 2009, the office of Yankees has already threatened that it will be aggressive in the next offseason, around new hires of players.

Although the priority is to sign a shortstop and a receiver, according to Mules general manager Brian Cashman, there is the possibility of incorporating more elements from other positions, for example, the first base. With Anthony Rizzo in free agency and Luke Voit with one foot off the teamThe only alternative left to the Yankees is veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu. However, in the winter market there will be interesting options to take into account to cover the initial one.

According to an article published in The New York Post, in the next offseason the Yankees could negotiate with three high caliber players who could play first base, they are: Brandon belt (Giants) and Cody Bellinger (Dodgers).

Belt, veteran and captain of San Francisco, will be part of free agency for the 2022 season. He has accumulated 11 years with the Bay organization and although he is a clear candidate to renew with the Giants, it is not ruled out that he could emigrate to another city. The Big Apple would be one of those tempting options.

Bellinger, who is still eligible for arbitration with Los Angeles through 2024, could be one of the Dodgers’ most lucrative bargains. Although his natural position is center field, Belli has already shown this postseason interesting skills at first base. This year he had to forcefully replace his teammate Max Muncy (broken elbow) in some games, who was injured in the last game of the regular season.
