Yankees Sign Bellinger, Goldschmidt Amid Roster Challenges

Following the departure of Juan Soto to the New York Mets, the New York Yankees have made significant roster changes by acquiring former MVPs Cody Bellinger and Paul Goldschmidt to strengthen their lineup. Despite these additions, the Yankees face unresolved positions, particularly at third base, with speculation on acquiring Brett Baty from the Mets. The Yankees are also interested in the potential free agency of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., though his past comments suggest reluctance toward a move to the Bronx. Injury concerns arise with Giancarlo Stanton suffering from elbow tendonitis, prompting discussions on possible replacements. Both Bellinger and Goldschmidt are expected to bring experience and versatility, with Bellinger addressing defensive needs in center field and Judge moving to right field. These strategic moves reflect the Yankees' intent to remain competitive despite significant player changes.
