It's just that I would have been the most intrigued by Robert.

We all know the type of raw talent that he has in wood and change of scenery.

to the Bronx done something for him.

But we don't have to worry about that.

Cody Bellinger is back.

Now, there's a lot of ways we can look at this here.

Cody Bellinger being back means what?

It means the Yankees are pretty much stamped as a playoff team.

I had my reservations about them being a playoff team without making any significant additions offensively.

Now, Cody Bellinger is back.

We know that's the status quo for the Yankees.

That's the running back from last year.

It's a team that won 94 games.

So I can pretty much feel confident the Yankees are going to be in the postseason this year.

What I don't feel confident about is them getting any further than they did in 2025, which is the problem here because I thought we were trying to win a championship here.

So...

That's why Cody Bellinger sets the bar at a certain level.

Yankees have not gone above that bar.

They truly believe they were a healthy Garrett Cole away from going to the World Series in 2025.

Garrett Cole will be back sometime in the first half of the season, and that's what they're banking on because everything they've done this offseason has proven that reporting that they felt that they were a healthy Garrett Cole away from the World Series because they haven't made any significant changes to this roster.
