Cody Bellinger addressed what his expectations are for himself during a media session on Thursday after being traded to the New York Yankees.

Juan Soto sweepstakes roster upgrades when they acquired two-time All-Star Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. And, as it turns out, Bellinger got his wish. The 2019 National League MVP was reportedly pushing his agent Scott Boras to let it be known to the Cubs that he wanted to be a Yankee.

Since losing out on Soto, the Yankees have added Max Fried on an eight-year, $218 million free agent deal, traded with Milwaukee for closer Devin Williams and now picked up Bellinger, whose defensive versatility allows them to either go after another outfielder or first baseman.
