The Yankees are still feeling the sting from DJ LeMahieu’s long contract, which is hitting their payroll even though he won’t be playing in 2026. But this offseason, the front office drew a line with Cody Bellinger, refusing to repeat the same mistake. Instead of stretching the deal just to save on luxury tax, they stuck to a five-year offer. It’s a shift from the old habit of handing out extra years to lower annual costs—something that’s haunted them with players like Aaron Hicks and Max Fried. Do you think this new approach will help the Yankees build a more sustainable roster? #Sports #Baseball #Yankees
