The Yankees’ Plan B continues to take shape.
On Tuesday, they traded for Cody Bellinger from the Cubs, in exchange for right-hander Cody Poteet.
The Cubs also sent along $5 million in the deal to go toward paying down the $52.5 million remaining on Bellinger’s contract over the next two years: He’s due to make $27.5 million in 2025 and has a $25 million player option for 2026.
