Because Kyle Tucker is gone.

Bo Bichette are gone.

They were better offensive...

options for the Yankees and they're off the board.

Not that the Yankees ever seriously inquired about either one of them, but they're not there for the Yankees to pivot to.

What are you going to pivot to?

Luis Roberts and his sub 700 OPS or Austin Hayes, who would be a platoon with Jason Dominguez or any of these substandard trade options that don't get you any closer to being a world champion.

That is a bad job by the Yankees front office if they have no plan B and they're not willing to engage in a bidding war for Cody Bellinger.

And I'm not saying that you should engage in a bidding war for Cody Bellinger because at the end of the day, who's Cody Bellinger?

But if that's the player that you earmarked as your number one target, and you're not willing to go and fight for him, and then all the options that would make you as good or better or off the board, then you screwed up royally in this offseason.

And this is coming from somebody that wants to see Jason Dominguez play more and still has hope for Jason Dominguez.

But again, that's a big unknown for the New York Yankees is what Jason Dominguez is and can be at the major league level because we already know the Yankees don't even like him.

And we know that based on how they treated him last year.

And now if Cody Bellinger doesn't come back, they'll gaslight you into thinking, oh, we loved him all along.

He just needed another year of seasoning, you know, coming off the oblique and Tommy Johnny didn't play enough and blah, blah, blah.

And they'll sell you a whole bill of goods on Jason Dominguez and how much they truly love him.

Which if that was the case, no qualifying offer for Trent Grisham.

They wouldn't have chased Cody Bellinger.

They would have just given him a frigging job, which they're not doing.

They're clearly not doing that.
