Despite having lost the opportunity to reach an important agreement with Juan Soto so that he will continue wearing the uniform of the Bronx Bombers, The New York Yankees are now thinking about giving Aaron Boone the best tools to fight for the World Series again in the 2025 season within Major League Baseball. The arrival of Cody Bellinger is one of the most attractive movements and the Manhattan Mules want to continue competing.
Precisely, the arrival of the winner of the ‘Fall Classic’ with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 can give the Manhattan Mules a leap in quality both defensively and offensively. This Wednesday, Brian Cashman, manager of the NYY, highlighted interesting aspects regarding Bellinger’s interest in becoming a player for the winningest franchise in the major leagues.
In Cashman’s words: “I’ve been hearing it for a long time, even his agent Scott Boras saying, ‘Can you bring him here? It’s driving me crazy. ‘He wants to be a Yankee’”. All this could be due to the fact that Clay Bellinger, his father, also defended the uniform of this organization and managed to win the World Series on two occasions: 1999 (vs. Atlanta Braves) and 2000 (vs. New York Mets).

In addition, Aaron Boone also referred to the arrival of Cody Bellinger and revealed details of their first contact: “Amazing. We had a good conversation last night (Tuesday, December 17). He is very excited to be here and one of the things he told me, without me having questioned him about it, was ‘no matter where I play, I am ready to play wherever you need me. Center field, left, first base. Wherever it is, I’ll be happy to be in the lineup.’”.
Cody Bellinger makes history with the Yankees
Upon becoming a new player for the Bronx Bombers, Cody Bellinger and his father, Clay Bellinger, make history as the fourth father-son duo to play for the ‘Big Apple’ franchise. Cody’s dad won the Yankees’ penultimate ‘Fall Classic’ and he will try to return glory to Yankee Stadium in the 2025 campaign.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau and the MLB, the other father-son pairs that passed through the Manhattan Mules were Yogi Berra (1946-1963) and Dale Berra (1985-1986), Ron Davis (1978-1981) and Ike Davis (2016), and Mark Leiter (1990) and Mark Leiter Jr., who also came from the Chicago Cubs to the New York Yankees in 2024.
