The Chicago Cubs traded Cody Bellinger and $5 million to the New York Yankees in exchange for right-handed reliever Cody Poteet. This move comes after the Cubs recently acquired Kyle Tucker, making Bellinger expendable in their outfield lineup.


Trade Details
  • Yankees receive: Cody Bellinger, $5 million
  • Cubs receive: RHP Cody Poteet
Key Context
  • Bellinger has a $27.5 million player option for 2025
  • He previously won NL MVP in 2019 with the Dodgers
  • The Cubs had a crowded outfield after acquiring Tucker
  • Bellinger will likely play center field for the Yankees, moving Aaron Judge to right field
The trade allows the Cubs to clear outfield depth while the Yankees add a left-handed bat to replace Juan Soto's offensive production. Bellinger, who revived his career with the Cubs in 2023, will look to regain his previous form in New York.
