Part 4/6:
Bellinger's arrival is expected to shift Aaron Judge from center field to right field, further strengthening the team's defense. The Yankees' management appears focused on improving their overall team composition, especially after the setbacks experienced in the last few postseason campaigns.
Looking Ahead: Is This Enough for the World Series?
Bowden highlighted that, while Bellinger’s addition improves the Yankees significantly, it may not be sufficient for them to contend for a World Series title on its own. The acquisition of pitchers Max Fried and Devin Williams also plays a critical role in enhancing the Yankees’ rotation and bullpen, respectively. As they aim for a return to postseason glory, the Yankees still have several positions to address, particularly within the infield.
