 The New York Yankees have been actively exploring several first base options this winter, with free agents Christian Walker and Pete Alonso being prominent targets. Additionally, ongoing discussions with the Cubs about Cody Bellinger's availability have yet to reach a resolution. Reports indicate that the Yankees and Cubs are approximately $10 million apart on how much of Bellinger's salary Chicago will cover, leading to a stalemate. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, it's a waiting game to see "who blinks first."
If these negotiations fall through, the Yankees have backup plans in place. GM Brian Cashman is considering signing free agent Carlos Santana or exploring trades for Josh Naylor of the Guardians and Nathaniel Lowe of the Rangers. Given Cashman's history of casting a wide net during the offseason, it's likely that other first basemen have also drawn interest from the Yankees
