Well the the thing is. Bo can help the team alot with his bat alone. Volpe...cant do much of anything to help the team 😅. They arent gonna put him at SS anyway apparently
How dare you!? Volpe is a generational talent and while we expect more from him, our internal metrics show that he is an elite level defender (outside of just a couple of errors) and one of the premier bats at the position. Don’t you insult him again!
FYI, this is NOT Aaron Boone writing this. I pinky promise
If we sign Bichette, it likely won’t be as a SS. He might start there until Volpe comes back if he misses time but he’ll probably play 2B. That would probably move Jazz back to the OF unless they trade him, where he graded out pretty well when he was in Miami.
he wouldn't be a butcher out there. but it looks like he was not so much an outfielder, as he was a speedy/athletic guy playing outfield.
and those things carry him a long way, but you still have to learn reading the ball the right way, knowing which routes to take, knowing where to throw into the infield, etc
What I have noticed with Chisholm, especially since joining the Yankees, is that he embraces challenges and tries to align himself with Judge. If that is the case, I could see him fully embracing a move to CF, “for the benefit of the team”, thus allowing infield flexibility. The catch that I see is that the Yankees miscalculated when they offered Grisham the qualifying offer, so he is an anchor for moves and additions. What would they do with him? They are not going to bench $22M that cost them both a tax and a reduction in draft status.
Bo isn't as bad as Volpe. Not good, that's true. But in every imaginable way, Bo Bichette is an upgrade on Anthony Volpe and we'd improve massively straight away if we did this.
100 percent would be an upgrade over Volpe, but signing Bo would mean no Bellinger. Bellinger fits the team 100x better than Bo does. Not to mention he would probably be playing 2nd, which would mean Jazz going back to 3rd and Volpe sitll playing SS. Or even worse, Jazz in LF? I honestly dont know what they would do if they signed Bo lol. Where does Mac go?
Even in 2025 where Volpe was clearly injured and he was a terrible defender, he was 8th percentile OOA and Bo was 1st percentile. Even at Volpe’s very worst he was better than Bo.
And that’s ignoring Volpe was 69th percentile OOA in 2023 and 97th percentile in 2024. When he’s right he’s a phenomenal defender.
Bo is literally the worst defender lol. I think its quite fair to point out how that will be a giant liability. Bellinger is 100 percent the better fit for this team. Not to mention Volpe would still be playing SS probably. I'm guessing Bo would be at 2nd and Jazz would move back to 3rd.
Because they're not. The Yankees never used Grisham anywhere other than CF, even when he was the back up OF in 2024. The preferred to not even play him vs playing him anywhere else, which is why Verdookie was the everyday LF. They're not gonna do that now. If they sign Bo then Jazz is going to 3B
Bellinger plays multiple positions well and hits well. Obviously, Bo is better than doing nothing. But as far as the way the team is constructed currently, they really need a Bellinger much more than a Bo. I hate the idea of just throwing Jazz into LF. It doesn't make much sense.
Bellingers defensive versatility is nice but not 100% necessary. Dominguez in LF with a righty platoon partner or Jazz in OF would be fine options if Bo is in the infield
Bo’s bat is needed more than anything Belli does. He’s got one more good year left in him maybe. Idk if you’ve ever had back issues but they tend to resurface as you get older
I don’t see it that way. Bichette slashed better than Belli last year and their career numbers are pretty similar. Bad defense from Bichette and 2 more years in the bigs gives belly a big lead in WAR but if we sign him for second we’d be fine. Plus, it evens out the R/L of our lineup.
Bichette isn't just a bad defender, he's one of the worst in baseball. Jasson level of bad. Then you account for Rice being a work in progress as a defender, Volpe being an unknown, and Jazz being a hit or miss going back to 3B. Would I prefer Bo's bat, sure. But his defense is a legitimate issue.
That’s at SS though. Marcus Semien was among the worst shortstops with the A’s but when Toronto moved him to 2B, he was excellent defensively. If we sign Bichette it won’t be to play SS.
It’s really not when you assess the fact Yankees are too left bat leaning and are missing a 1st bat contact batter but it absolutely blows not keeping belli for that 30 homers and low strikeout rate
The problem isn't offense, you're now adding terrible defender and then having Jazz move back to 3B. Infield defense might be truly awful if Volpe doesn't bounce back defensively.
Offense has its problems too. Belli contributed a lot last year, his return is up in the air. Grisham had an outlier type of year, god knows what he’ll look like next season. Judge was Judge but even a minor regression, which could still make him the best hitter in the league, would still make the offense worse at the end of the day.
Offense needs to be addressed, but not at the cost of just falling off defensively at multiple spots. Least with Bellinger you're only weak defensively at really one position (first base). You add Bo to 2B and you're awful defensively at 2B, LF, and possibly 3B if Jazz looks more like 2025 Jazz vs 2024 Jazz at 3B. Belli may not put up his 2025 numbers, but I'll take even his 2024 111 OPS+ if it means we're sure handed in LF and potentially 1B.
Start the game in CF, slide to LF for defense late. Judge needs a DH day? Slide over to RF. Grab a few innings at 1B if needed. And be smooth at every spot you put him.
Of course it helped last year.
I swear people on here just say things for the sake of hearing themselves talk.
You’re falling for the bullshit. They want Belli to play multiple positions so they don’t have to pay for an elite CF or an elite LF or an elite 1B. The richest team in baseball and the most successful franchise in American sports has ONE elite player on the team. One. It’s a joke and management has won because of fans who accept mediocrity .
I think there's just absolutely zero basis for "one good year left". He had a good (not great) year in 2024 and his 2023 was on par with '25. Last year didn't come out of the blue. He's a good player.
We all knew Coles elbow was a ticking time bomb. It was just a matter of when he was gonna need TJ. I would have let him walk when he opted out. Yes it did hurt but they knew it was coming one of these seasons. Everyone knew.
So what you're saying is that the 5 WAR OF who played four different positions wasn't very high up on the list of reasons that the 2025 team took a step back from 2024?
When he hits .300 and drives in the majority of his runners in scoring position, I promise you and the majority of people on this sub won’t give a shit about his defense. Volpe over Bichette in this lineup is just insanity
I want Bichette bad. You people who dont are crazy, he is a contact right handed bat who performs in the playoffs, not just a 162 player that disappears in the playoffs like Jazz Chisolm.
I agree that the offer to Grisham was a bad move, but honestly I think we'd be here regardless. The Yankees' front office only likes three types of free agents: (1) reclamation projects; (2) the extremely rare, franchise-cornerstone-type players for whom they will break the bank (e.g., Judge, Cole, Soto); and (3) all other FAs, for whom they assign a set value and will not go above it. Pretty much everyone on the FA market this offseason falls into the first or third categories, and for guys like Belli and Bo, they would probably be happy to sign them if the price is right but would absolutely refuse otherwise. I think the Grisham deal didn't change those valuations, so it's not like they'd be offering the FAs more if they hadn't brought Grish back.
Whenever a player is represented by Boras i assume they are asking for way too much. I don’t blame the yankees for passing on Cody if that’s what happens
I don’t see a world where this happens tbh. They won’t play Bo at SS. They could trade jazz for pitching sure… but what team is adding a top 2B for a year and also parting away with pitching? Doesn’t add up. They won’t put jazz in the OF. I just don’t think the fit makes much sense
Well, we tried improving the defense last year, and I guess Cashman is OK with that experiment being over. Volpe and Bichette together up the middle might make for must-see TV but not for the right reasons.
And then what? We put Jazz at 3B, where he hurt his shoulder last year, and then put McMahon on the bench, where he has absolutely NO value?? McMahon only has value as a defensive player; using him as a pinch hitter or late-inning replacement is a waste of a roster spot.
This is why the team is so poorly constructed every season.
Not signing Bellinger and signing Bishette hurts the Yankees in a big way. Bellinger knows this, and probably told the Yankees that already. Meaningless issue.
The funny thing is, its guys like Bichette that will help this team win titles. Not Bellinger. Yet we all know, if they get either (HUGE IF B/C I THINK THIS TEAM IS ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING $$ NOW, DESPITE THE INSULTING BS HAL THINKS WE BELIEIVE) it will be Bellinger.
THE SCOUTING SYSTEM IS BROKEN YANKEES!!!
WE DIDNT WIN TITLES BECAUSE OF ANALYTICS!!!! WE WON BECAUSE OF THE INTANGIBLES!!!!
WAKE THE F UP!!!
At this point it’s obvious Boras is gonna hold a gun to their head. Bichette would be great at 2nd, trade Jazz and prospects for a solid OF that makes contact and plays good D
Bo is 3 yrs younger, higher BA and OBP. But he would really have to play (hide) at 2B. Where does Jazz go? Not back to third. Bo over Cody can only make sense if there is a trade in the works including Jazz+ for a pitcher.
Bo would be huge. Baseball’s hidden secret is you’re only as good as the guy behind you. Translation: I’m not pitching to you if I don’t fear the guy hitting behind you. Judge’s numbers will be better with Bo protecting him.
Yea I don’t like this pivot, it involves potentially moving Jazz and playing people out of position. Dream scenario would be they signed Bo put him in SS and trade Volpe but they’ll never do that.
There is no intensification lol. Such lies. If they arent giving Bellinger 300 million, you think they are going to give Bo 300 million? Bellinger is the better player
Correction, Yankees show interest but aren't really interested.
Yankees feigning interest in other free agents to gain leverage over Bellinger.
If we know it's fake then how does it gain leverage? Like Boras doesn't know
Shhh, Cashman thinks he’s playing 4D Chess
He's really playing 1D checkers.
Correction: The Yankees just said Hi to Bo and wished him a good day.
Correction, they actually never showed interest
Correction, Yankees were rumored to have interest but ultimately were never close.
article on February something, 2026- "Bo Bichette resigns in Toronto, Yankees were reportedly not close" there saved you all the trouble
Re-signs, NOT RESIGNS. For the love of god and all that is holy!
Hahaha
😆
I'm happy to see far more pedants annoyed with this common misspelling in baseball spaces than in basketball spaces.
Phrasing!
Someone yesterday just said - "they are a premedonna anyways".
I weep for our country lol.
Maybe he re-signs and then resigns to go to the Dodgers 😂
Had to be that person huh ? Lol
Gap in interest intensifies
Bo instead of Belli is such a bad downgrade lol.
The people that thought Volpe was a bad on defense will have a stroke watching him
Well the the thing is. Bo can help the team alot with his bat alone. Volpe...cant do much of anything to help the team 😅. They arent gonna put him at SS anyway apparently
Watching Volpe attempt to hit is enough to give you a stroke.
How dare you!? Volpe is a generational talent and while we expect more from him, our internal metrics show that he is an elite level defender (outside of just a couple of errors) and one of the premier bats at the position. Don’t you insult him again!
FYI, this is NOT Aaron Boone writing this. I pinky promise
If we sign Bichette, it likely won’t be as a SS. He might start there until Volpe comes back if he misses time but he’ll probably play 2B. That would probably move Jazz back to the OF unless they trade him, where he graded out pretty well when he was in Miami.
Oh excellent we need another outfielder
his CF defensive metrics were a bit mixed (at best) across the board.
not sure if a move to OF means LF or CF though
he wouldn't be a butcher out there. but it looks like he was not so much an outfielder, as he was a speedy/athletic guy playing outfield.
and those things carry him a long way, but you still have to learn reading the ball the right way, knowing which routes to take, knowing where to throw into the infield, etc
What I have noticed with Chisholm, especially since joining the Yankees, is that he embraces challenges and tries to align himself with Judge. If that is the case, I could see him fully embracing a move to CF, “for the benefit of the team”, thus allowing infield flexibility. The catch that I see is that the Yankees miscalculated when they offered Grisham the qualifying offer, so he is an anchor for moves and additions. What would they do with him? They are not going to bench $22M that cost them both a tax and a reduction in draft status.
yep, I don't think I'd want to move him at this point, particularly given how much he's moved around the diamond most of his career
Bo isn't as bad as Volpe. Not good, that's true. But in every imaginable way, Bo Bichette is an upgrade on Anthony Volpe and we'd improve massively straight away if we did this.
What if we "imagined" defense?
100 percent would be an upgrade over Volpe, but signing Bo would mean no Bellinger. Bellinger fits the team 100x better than Bo does. Not to mention he would probably be playing 2nd, which would mean Jazz going back to 3rd and Volpe sitll playing SS. Or even worse, Jazz in LF? I honestly dont know what they would do if they signed Bo lol. Where does Mac go?
That isn’t even remotely true.
Even in 2025 where Volpe was clearly injured and he was a terrible defender, he was 8th percentile OOA and Bo was 1st percentile. Even at Volpe’s very worst he was better than Bo.
And that’s ignoring Volpe was 69th percentile OOA in 2023 and 97th percentile in 2024. When he’s right he’s a phenomenal defender.
I never get comments like this because the issue with Volpe is bad defense and bad offense.
Bo is literally the worst defender lol. I think its quite fair to point out how that will be a giant liability. Bellinger is 100 percent the better fit for this team. Not to mention Volpe would still be playing SS probably. I'm guessing Bo would be at 2nd and Jazz would move back to 3rd.
You could argue Bo is the better fit. Yankees need a righty bat more than they need another lefty. Put Bo at second and Jazz goes to the OF
So move Jazz to another position he hasn't played before in LF? Because the Yankees aren't moving Grisham out of CF.
Why not? He’s on my here for 1 year, you could easily put Grish in LF
Because they're not. The Yankees never used Grisham anywhere other than CF, even when he was the back up OF in 2024. The preferred to not even play him vs playing him anywhere else, which is why Verdookie was the everyday LF. They're not gonna do that now. If they sign Bo then Jazz is going to 3B
You don’t know that. Guys move from CF to the corners all the time. Sure he might if they can trade McMahon
Bellinger plays multiple positions well and hits well. Obviously, Bo is better than doing nothing. But as far as the way the team is constructed currently, they really need a Bellinger much more than a Bo. I hate the idea of just throwing Jazz into LF. It doesn't make much sense.

Bo’s bat is needed more than anything Belli does. He’s got one more good year left in him maybe. Idk if you’ve ever had back issues but they tend to resurface as you get older
I'm not talking about Bellinger.
I'm say with Volpe, the problem is he's terrible both on offense and defense.
He’s literally not. In 2025 he was terrible but that was highly unusual for him, and almost definitely due to his injury.
He was 69th percentile OOA in 2023 and 97th percentile OOA in 2024. He is a very good defender when he’s right.
And he is a hell of a lot better hitter than Volpe.
This getting downvoted is absolutely hilarious.
Volpe had a down year at short but let’s not act like he is a bad defender.
He was last year?
He's effectively been a bad defender for 33% of his MLB career.
We'll see how he plays this year.
That's just objectively false. He was +8 DRS and +13 OAA in 2024. He was a good defensive SS in 2024.
You called it false then quoted statistics from two seasons ago?
The guy you responded to said 2025 was a down year. You said he was also bad in '24
"He's effectively been a bad defender for 33% of his MLB career." - you
My post was a really direct response to what you said.
No I didn't, last year was 2025.
Yes, 2025 is 1 year out of a 3 year career. 1/3 = 33.33%
It really wasn't.
He wouldn’t be coming in to play SS. They’d need to make room
I don’t see it that way. Bichette slashed better than Belli last year and their career numbers are pretty similar. Bad defense from Bichette and 2 more years in the bigs gives belly a big lead in WAR but if we sign him for second we’d be fine. Plus, it evens out the R/L of our lineup.
I wouldn’t be mad about it.
Bichette isn't just a bad defender, he's one of the worst in baseball. Jasson level of bad. Then you account for Rice being a work in progress as a defender, Volpe being an unknown, and Jazz being a hit or miss going back to 3B. Would I prefer Bo's bat, sure. But his defense is a legitimate issue.

Belli may not put up his 2025 numbers, but I'll take even his 2024 111 OPS+ if it means we're sure handed in LF and potentially 1B.
This. Belli’s defensive flexibility is so valuable.
In what way? It didn’t help them last year
It didn't?
Start the game in CF, slide to LF for defense late. Judge needs a DH day? Slide over to RF. Grab a few innings at 1B if needed. And be smooth at every spot you put him.
Of course it helped last year.

The richest team in baseball and the most successful franchise in American sports has ONE elite player on the team. One. It’s a joke and management has won because of fans who accept mediocrity .
You're moving the goalposts badly here.
Your argument was that his versatility didn't help. It objectively did.
"They should use their financial advantage to pursue more elite talent" is a different argument and not one I'm debating against.
[deleted]
I'm assuming you're responding to the other guy?
Ok so here’s the point they made the World Series added bellinger and had a worse result the next year so it didn’t help them
You don't think losing their best pitcher before opening day hurt them?
Your arguments are just really stupid. I'm sorry. Bellinger had a very good season (4.9 WAR) and his versatility helped the team.
I think bellinger has one good year left in him at best. He had a good year in a contract year he isn’t the first
I think there's just absolutely zero basis for "one good year left". He had a good (not great) year in 2024 and his 2023 was on par with '25. Last year didn't come out of the blue. He's a good player.
We all knew Coles elbow was a ticking time bomb. It was just a matter of when he was gonna need TJ. I would have let him walk when he opted out. Yes it did hurt but they knew it was coming one of these seasons. Everyone knew.
So what you're saying is that the 5 WAR OF who played four different positions wasn't very high up on the list of reasons that the 2025 team took a step back from 2024?
- Cole's elbow
- Playing 2/3 of the season without a 3B
- Lack of bullpen depth
Bo is a better hitter.
And a much worse defender.
When he hits .300 and drives in the majority of his runners in scoring position, I promise you and the majority of people on this sub won’t give a shit about his defense. Volpe over Bichette in this lineup is just insanity
Could be a blessing in disguise if Martian or Spencer Jones blow up.
Oh bullshit.
This article was made for Cody
I want Bichette bad. You people who dont are crazy, he is a contact right handed bat who performs in the playoffs, not just a 162 player that disappears in the playoffs like Jazz Chisolm.
People on this sub really trying to sell us on volpe over Bichette right now. Absolutely delusional
I'm ok with it we need a decent righty hitter in the lineup and the rumored 30mm AAv that Bellinger wants over 6 years is kind of crazy tbh.
Heyman doing his best to make people think he’s not Boras’ mouthpiece this offseason.
not well
Nice...love hearing the negotiation process with Bellinger reported step by step to the point it's boring
We're getting no one because of the Grisham QO.
Every bit of news we have so far indicates that that is not the intent, but ok
Ya, like all the news we've been hearing every year.
And every year they get players that improve the team
Sure, but nowhere near what the news says we're linked to.
Because agents have always used the Yankees to link their players as a negation tactic
No it’s because the Yankees only care about making money
I agree that the offer to Grisham was a bad move, but honestly I think we'd be here regardless. The Yankees' front office only likes three types of free agents: (1) reclamation projects; (2) the extremely rare, franchise-cornerstone-type players for whom they will break the bank (e.g., Judge, Cole, Soto); and (3) all other FAs, for whom they assign a set value and will not go above it. Pretty much everyone on the FA market this offseason falls into the first or third categories, and for guys like Belli and Bo, they would probably be happy to sign them if the price is right but would absolutely refuse otherwise. I think the Grisham deal didn't change those valuations, so it's not like they'd be offering the FAs more if they hadn't brought Grish back.
I know this isn’t happening but theoretically this would mean Jazz to LF?
Apparently he’s asking for $300M plus LMAO
Should be in on both if this team was serious
Bichette apparently wants close to 300 mil. I don’t think the Yankees offer half of that. He’s not even worth 200 mil, let alone 300.
Whenever a player is represented by Boras i assume they are asking for way too much. I don’t blame the yankees for passing on Cody if that’s what happens
I like Bo but I’d rather not tbh
I mean probably not but I wouldn’t be opposed
My interest in Ana de Armas has intensified, but she hasn't called me back, either
If this article isn’t written by Jack Curry it really doesn’t matter
This off season news is similar to waiting for Ellsbury to return.... One long tease and no real movement.
Until tomorrow when it's reported that there have been no talks ever between the two.
The tweet was a typo, he meant to say they're interested in his Rookie card
Ok sure
Still think signing Bo for 2nd and moving jazz to center is the best option. Gives the lineup another good right handed hitter
BREAKING: Bo Bichette signs with Pirates. Yankees and Bichette "not close"
I don’t see a world where this happens tbh. They won’t play Bo at SS. They could trade jazz for pitching sure… but what team is adding a top 2B for a year and also parting away with pitching? Doesn’t add up. They won’t put jazz in the OF. I just don’t think the fit makes much sense
Can Bo play 3B? If he's close to average defensively at 3B, that could make a lot of sense.
What is that? Another football for me to kick Lucy?
This is just Belli negotiation via the press
Well, we tried improving the defense last year, and I guess Cashman is OK with that experiment being over. Volpe and Bichette together up the middle might make for must-see TV but not for the right reasons.
And then what? We put Jazz at 3B, where he hurt his shoulder last year, and then put McMahon on the bench, where he has absolutely NO value?? McMahon only has value as a defensive player; using him as a pinch hitter or late-inning replacement is a waste of a roster spot.
This is why the team is so poorly constructed every season.
I am in the prefer bichette camp, but this is 100% the Yankees begging for any sort of leverage with boras/ Bellinger
Just saw something stating he wants $300 mil. Obviously, there’s negotiating to be done, but that’s a joke.
“Yankees Fan’s Interest in Bo Bichette’s Mom Intensifies “
Curry said this wasn’t happening and I’m inclined to believe it.
Not signing Bellinger and signing Bishette hurts the Yankees in a big way. Bellinger knows this, and probably told the Yankees that already. Meaningless issue.
Get him and move on from Belli! We can’t let time just pass us by anymore,waiting for players. Get him and shop some more.
I'm down with Bo, get it done.
The Yankees are acting pathetic this offseason.
They have the same agent. Does Cashman think he'll get a discount with Bo over Bellinger? 😆
What's 0% interest times 2?
So since we know none of this is happening, what player do we actually get who we give too many years to, too much money to, and is past his prime?
Carlos Santana and Jason Hayward seem possible.
“These guys were some of the best players in the league, and we think they still have something left in the tank.”
“We were able to sign them shorter term and allow us to not block any prospects that are up and coming.”
Bichette going to get the checking in of a lifetime.
Good!
The funny thing is, its guys like Bichette that will help this team win titles. Not Bellinger. Yet we all know, if they get either (HUGE IF B/C I THINK THIS TEAM IS ONLY INTERESTED IN MAKING $$ NOW, DESPITE THE INSULTING BS HAL THINKS WE BELIEIVE) it will be Bellinger. THE SCOUTING SYSTEM IS BROKEN YANKEES!!! WE DIDNT WIN TITLES BECAUSE OF ANALYTICS!!!! WE WON BECAUSE OF THE INTANGIBLES!!!! WAKE THE F UP!!!
At this point it’s obvious Boras is gonna hold a gun to their head. Bichette would be great at 2nd, trade Jazz and prospects for a solid OF that makes contact and plays good D
Look, fuck this front office to the ends of the Earth. It’s fucking embarrassing. ESPECIALLY missing out on Imai.
Ahh. Already coming up with our backup 'We tried our best' before we whiff on everyone.
Im tired of this shit bro
If the Yankees don’t want to go over the luxury tax I don’t know they’re really going to do.
If the Yankees don’t want to go over the luxury tax I don’t know they’re really going to do.
Heyman, move along
cashman putting on the pressure on boras now, hopefully bichette isnt just a pawn
DO IT Damnit
Bo is 3 yrs younger, higher BA and OBP. But he would really have to play (hide) at 2B. Where does Jazz go? Not back to third. Bo over Cody can only make sense if there is a trade in the works including Jazz+ for a pitcher.
Would rather have Tucker. Bichette sucks.
Dogs chase cars they can’t drive.
Bo would be huge. Baseball’s hidden secret is you’re only as good as the guy behind you. Translation: I’m not pitching to you if I don’t fear the guy hitting behind you. Judge’s numbers will be better with Bo protecting him.
Ah yes classic. Put out bullshit, knowing Bellinger will see it and hope he blinks first. Never thought I’d see this out of the Yankees
Sign him now!!!
Jack Curry already said we're unlikely to really pursue Bichette. So ignore this.
Bo would be way smarter to stay with the Jays. He has a better shot at winning a WS than with NY.
Yea I don’t like this pivot, it involves potentially moving Jazz and playing people out of position. Dream scenario would be they signed Bo put him in SS and trade Volpe but they’ll never do that.
Not a dream with Bichette’s lack of SS skills!!
I rather have Bo’s bat with his shitty defense SS then Volpe
If this is real, I’m wondering if we send Jazz to center and Grisham then plays left. I do not see us trusting bichette at 3rd or trading Jazz.
It seems Grisham has also never been a thought in left in his tenure here so idk if this is just smoke to give Belli some urgency.
Weird that Heyman is reporting that the Yankees might go to Bichette over Bellinger.
There is no intensification lol. Such lies. If they arent giving Bellinger 300 million, you think they are going to give Bo 300 million? Bellinger is the better player
Just pay Bellinger Jesus Christ...
They are. They arent giving him 7 years tho. Which is the right move as much as I want Belli back
“Just pay the ransom.”
