The New York Yankees missed out on trading for outfielder Kyle Tucker. Could they still land him and Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs?
Despite losing outfielder Juan Soto, the New York Yankees have pivoted quickly by signing starting pitcher Max Fried and trading for closer Devin Williams. The Bombers couldn't land Kyle Tucker before the Houston Astros traded him to the Chicago Cubs. But could general manager Brian Cashman pull off an insane trade for Tucker and Cody Bellinger?The Yankees have been linked to both sluggers this winter. They were among the teams pursuing Tucker before the Cubs acquired him.
Is there something even bigger in the works we don't know about? FOX Sports' Ben Verlander proposed an interesting scenario on Thursday.'What if the Astros told the Yankees they wouldn't trade Tucker there unless it was an insane deal,' Verlander wrote on X . 'So the Yankees told the Cubs to trade for Tucker and they will send them a super insane mega-deal for Tucker/Bellinger.'If the Yankees were to pull something like this off, it would be huge for their roster.
