Oct 7, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (35) hits a double in the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during game three of the ALDS round for the 2025 MLB playoffs at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n MLB free agency is in full swing this week at the GM meetings in Las Vegas, Nev. One of the most popular names being tossed around is Cody Bellinger . Yes, the New York Yankees want to re-sign the outfielder, but general manager Brian Cashman is seeing Hot Stove season, well, heat up.<\/p>\n “Could Cody Bellinger wind up returning to the Dodgers? L.A. will be in the OF market, and he still has some fans there,” The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports.<\/p>\n “Bellinger is said to have loved his time in L.A., which included his greatest heights (an MVP) and only lows (two injury-wracked offensive seasons),” Heyman adds.<\/p>\n Should the New York Mets fail to re-sign\u00a0Pete Alonso, the\u00a0New York Post’s Joel Sherman\u00a0reports Bellinger could bolt the Bronx for Queens.<\/p>\n “Bellinger, by the way, is third in left-on-left OPS (.881) over the past two seasons. He can play center or first. He\u00a0is New York proven. Has an exceptional baseball IQ. And if there is a fringe benefit in taking a lefty-hitting stalwart from the Yankees two years in a row, so be it,” Sherman writes.<\/p>\n But don’t out the Yankees, Heyman notes.<\/p>\n “Bellinger also enjoys being a Yankee, and they have to be considered an early favorite since they made him a priority. All he said when asked in-season was that he wants to play for a winner,” Heyman reports.<\/p>\n To that end, Cashman is talking the talk.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re very interested in bringing (Bellinger) back,\u201d Cashman said, according to\u00a0NJ.com’s Randy Miller.\u00a0\u201cObviously now that he\u2019s a free agent, he\u2019s gonna have a lot of choices because he can do a lot of different things.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019d be better served if we could retain him. If not, then we\u2019ll have to look at alternative ways to fill it and see where that takes us. But it\u2019s pretty early in the process.<\/p>\n \u201cI said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: Of course we\u2019d like to have him back,” Cashman added, per Miller.<\/p>\n The Yankees acquired Bellinger in a December 2024 trade with the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n He proceeded to hit 29 home runs and drive in 98 runs while posting a 5.0 WAR in New York, his\u00a0highest totals since winning the 2019 National League MVP Award\u00a0with the Los Angeles Dodgers.<\/p>\n Bellinger\u00a0opted out\u00a0of his\u00a0three-year, $80 million contract by turning down his $25 million option for 2026.<\/p>\n Buffalo, New York \u2013 November 12, 2025<\/em><\/p>\n Just hours after the Buffalo Bills\u2019 loss to the Miami Dolphins, the criticism toward Josh Allen erupted across social media, talk shows, and national sports networks. But in the midst of that storm, an unexpected voice rose to defend him \u2014 Rob Gronkowski, NFL legend and a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan despite never playing for the franchise.<\/p>\n Gronkowski, who grew up near Buffalo, has always had a deep attachment to the team. So when he stepped forward to defend Josh Allen at one of the most difficult moments of the quarterback\u2019s career, the entire Bills community took notice.<\/p>\n According to multiple sources inside the organization, Allen has been dealing with mental fatigue, emotional strain, and lingering physical issues, yet he has refused to use any of them as an excuse. He continues to lead, continues to take responsibility, and continues to fight \u2014 even as the weight on his shoulders grows heavier each week.<\/p>\n In a statement that instantly ignited social media, Gronkowski delivered a powerful message:<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s happening to Josh Allen is an injustice to football \u2014 a blatant betrayal of everything this sport is supposed to stand for. How can people be so cruel? Criticizing a man who has carried his team with his whole heart, who goes out there every week in pain, gives everything he has, never asks for applause, never points fingers \u2014 he just keeps fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Those words swept through the Bills community within minutes, sparking intense reactions. Many fans acknowledged that Allen has been treated far too harshly, especially during a stretch where the entire team has struggled with injuries, depth issues, and mounting pressure.<\/p>\n Allen\u2019s teammates echoed the sentiment, describing him as the same relentless leader he has always been \u2014 the first to arrive, the last to leave, the one who lifts everyone else up even when he himself is hurting.<\/p>\n To Gronkowski, that is the core of the issue: Gronk called on Bills Mafia to stand together \u2014 and to stand with Allen:<\/p>\n This is not the time for blame. This is the time for loyalty.<\/p>\n Because as Gronkowski emphasized,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oct 7, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; New York Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger (35) hits a double in the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during game three of the ALDS…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6459,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Josh Allen is not the problem in Buffalo. He remains the heart of the franchise, even if that heart is bruised from carrying so much weight for so long.<\/p>\n
