The Philadelphia Phillies have apparently thrown their hat in the ring for the versatile lefty slugger. It sounds like Plan A for the Phils remains re-signing Kyle Schwarber. If that\u2019s the case, then Belli represents a fallback for Philly. But that is another club with deep pockets making their interest known, joining the Mets, Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Angels among the Yankees\u2019 competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6859043\/2025\/12\/05\/mlb-winter-meetings-wish-list-kyle-tucker-tarik-skubal-trades-signings-awards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Athletic | Jim Bowden ($)<\/a>: On the eve of the annual Winter Meetings, Jim Bowden wish casts what they\u2019d ideally look like. And if he had his druthers, the Yankees would be busy. To begin: signing Kyle Tucker to a 10-year, $427 million deal. From there, closer Edwin D\u00edaz comes to the Bronx on a five-year deal that could hit nine figures. On the trade market, Will Warren and Jos\u00e9 Caballero head to Milwaukee in exchange for Freddy Peralta. Not done, the Yankees also send Spencer Jones and Kaeden Kent to Miami for Sandy Alcantara. Finally, to cap off this frenzy, New York sends Elmer Rodriguez and Roderick Arias to the Diamondbacks for Ketel Marte. Color me skeptical that a single one of these items unfolds as Bowden describes them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fnews%2Fyankees-2025-rule-5-draft-candidates\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB | Joe Trezza<\/a>: The Rule 5 Draft will take place Wednesday at the Winter Meetings. The Yankees protected Spencer Jones, Elmer Rodr\u00edguez, and Chase Hampton from the draft by placing each on the 40-man roster. That leaves numerous members of the Yankee organization vulnerable to being plucked away. Three prime contenders: pitchers Brock Selvidge, Brendan Beck, and Harrison Cohen. The first two have struggled with injury in recent years, but could still tempt teams if they want to roster them for all of 2026. Cohen, meanwhile, is \u201can older reliever with experience at the upper levels and strikeout stuff \u2013 the sort of plug-and-play bullpen option\u201d teams pull the trigger on in the draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Pinstripe Alley will have all your Rule 5 Draft coverage on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Add another team to the list of suitors for free agent and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334652,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[363,99,163244],"class_list":{"0":"post-334651","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb","8":"tag-mlb","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-yankees-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334651"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334651\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
