Yankees Acquire Bellinger Amid Love Triangle

Cody Bellinger has been traded to the New York Yankees from the Chicago Cubs, joining a team that includes Giancarlo Stanton, who previously dated Bellinger's wife, Chase Carter. Bellinger and Carter, who have two daughters and got married in December 2023, began their relationship in 2020 after Carter's brief romance with Stanton from 2018 to 2019. The trade raised eyebrows among fans and insiders due to the potential awkwardness in the Yankees' clubhouse, although sources suggest that both players are professionals and can handle the situation. Bellinger, a former NL MVP and two-time All-Star, is expected to bolster the Yankees' lineup, especially after the loss of Juan Soto to the Mets. Despite the past relationships, both Bellinger and Stanton share a common goal of winning a World Series together. The Yankees have been active in the offseason, acquiring multiple players to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
