Cody Bellinger's Wife Chase Flaunts Three Words With His $162.5M Yankees Contract

The narrative around the New York Yankees' ongoing offseason in recent weeks had been that the club wasn't doing enough to improve its roster for the 2026 season.

The Yankees lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the ALDS. This shows a regression from the 2024 season, where they advanced to the World Series before losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Yankees' front office remained patient at the start of the offseason and said they weren't rushing to make any moves. Then they lost relievers Devin Williams and Luke Weaver to their cross-town rival Mets, which raised eyebrows.

All along, the best fit for New York seemed to be star free agent Cody Bellinger, who had a successful 2025 campaign with the team. But the Yankees made it clear that they weren't going to break the bank to sign him.

Bellinger's team and the Yankees disagreed about how many years his contract should be, which spawned reports that the two sides weren't likely to reunite.

However, once all of Bellinger's other potential destinations signed other top stars, there was no clear other place for him to go. And on January 21, news broke that Bellinger signed a five-year, $162.5 million contract to remain in the Bronx.
