Over the first few weeks of the offseason, the organization was completely focused on trying to re-sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto. However, despite their best efforts and an offer for as much as $760 million, the team lost one of their most important players to the New York Mets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs \u2018deep into talks\u2019 on blockbuster trade for All-Star<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There had been speculation for quite some time about what the team could do in the event they lost the Soto chase. Well, in the fallout of the 26-year-old going to the Mets, the Yanks have made a pair of big moves. The first was giving Atlanta Braves star pitcher Max Fried a massive $218 million deal. Then they made a bold trade for, arguably, the best closer in MLB \u2014 Milwaukee Brewers stud Devin Williams.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, a new report suggested that their next major move would be completing a long-rumored trade for Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger. However, on Sunday New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman suggested that those talks may have hit a wall. And the New York Yankees could soon pivot to five different players to fill their void at first base.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cody Bellinger stats (2024):<\/strong>\u00a0.266 AVG, .325 OBP, .426 SLG, .751 OPS, 18 HR, 78 RBI, 72 R<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"h-money-again-holding-up-completion-of-cody-bellinger-trade-to-new-york-yankees\">Money again holding up completion of Cody Bellinger trade to New York Yankees<\/h2>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?w=768\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 5310px) 100vw, 5310px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?resize=428,285 428w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?resize=666,444 666w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?resize=196,131 196w, https:\/\/sportsnaut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/MLB-Chicago-Cubs-at-Colorado-Rockies-24245178.jpg?resize=465,310 465w\" alt=\"New York Yankees rumor claims Cody Bellinger trade talks have stalled again, team may pivot to chase for 5 specific stars\" width=\"5310\" height=\"3540\" \/><figcaption>Credit: Isaiah J.
