The Yankees entered the season with holes in the outfield and infield, and after Juan Soto signed elsewhere, trading Cody Bellinger seemed obvious. Bellinger has played four different positions in his eight-year career, and that gives manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees a lot of flexibility in how to deploy their players. Despite reports that Boone told Bellinger he would play center field something the longtime Yankees manager has denied the left-hander was asked if he would play at any defensive position during his introductory Zoom meeting on Thursday and confirmed his versatility.

Of the four positions Bellinger played during his career, he played the most in center field (449 games), where he won a Gold Glove in 2019 the same season he won the NL MVP award for the Dodgers. Bellinger has played 155 games as right midfielder, but Judge will move back to right midfielder after playing at center last season. Left midfielder is also vacant, a position in which Bellinger has only played 37 matches. That position could be considered the toughest at Yankee Stadium and could be where the Yankees try to deploy their new hitter to allow Jasson Dominguez who GM Brian Cashman wants a chance to get in 2025 playing center field, his natural position. The Yankees may be looking for a shortstop to replace Anthony Rizzo , but Bellinger has played 271 games at that position so he could start there if the team adds another outfielder this season.
Bellinger will enter his 30th season in 2025, and although his offensive production hasn’t matched his first seasons in LA, he still has expectations for it.. Just two seasons ago, he had a resurgent first year with the Cubs, which he turned into a multi-year deal, but couldn’t repeat his Silver Slugger award-winning performance. In 2024, Bellinger hit .266/.325/.426 with 18 home runs and 78 RBI. But within the friendly confines of Yankee Stadium, those numbers are expected to improve.
