BEDMINSTER, N.J. — Arriving very early for Yankees spring training, general manager Brian Cashman spent a lot of time in the last two weeks making calls from his fourth-floor office at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa.

The Toronto Blue Jays could use an upgrade in the outfield, and New York Yankees star Cody Bellinger is still available.

The New York Yankees finally succeeded in what they set out to do this offseason – re-signing Cody Bellinger this week. However, his agent, Scott Boras, might have made GM Brian Cashman desperate to do it.

It was a wild Wednesday for the Hot Stove -- especially in the Big Apple. Early in the day, Cody Bellinger agreed to a deal to return to the Yankees, taking the top free-agent position player off the board.
