"In hopes of retaining the veteran outfielder, the New York Yankees have sent a pair of offers to Bellinger and Boras, the latest coming in at a reported five years with a price tag between $155 million and $160 million. That's more than $30 million per year for a 30-year-old who hit 29 home runs with 98 RBI and an .813 OPS during his lone season with the Bronx Bombers."
"Bellinger and Boras are looking for at least a seven-year deal, as reported by USA Today's Bob Nightengale on Monday. Such a number will have almost any interested party balking. While Bellinger is a versatile, power-hitting talent, his production has been inconsistent in recent years, and his asking price exceeds the current market value. Former Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who is also 30 and had a significantly better offensive season (though Bellinger clears him consideraby in most defensive metrics),"
The New York Yankees offered Cody Bellinger two contract proposals, the latest reported at five years for $155–$160 million. Bellinger and agent Scott Boras are seeking at least a seven-year deal, a length that many teams would find prohibitive. Bellinger produced 29 home runs, 98 RBI and an .813 OPS in his lone season with the Yankees, but his recent production has been inconsistent. Comparable recent contracts include Pete Alonso at five years, $155 million, and Kyle Schwarber at five years, $150 million. His five-season 162-game averages were .244/.306/.425 (.731 OPS) with 24 home runs, 90 RBI and an OPS+ of 100.
