The New York Yankees have been rather quiet this offseason, though they've been linked to multiple top free agents.

The Yankees are going to need to make a huge move in free agency after these crushing whiffs. There's one free agent target that stands out as the best fit for the Yankees this winter: outfielder Cody Bellinger.

Prediction: Yankees sign Cody Bellinger after Bo Bichette lands with the Mets
A few weeks ago, it seemed like Bellinger would be signing with the Mets, but after Bichette's deal, it's tough to imagine they land Bellinger, too.
Assuming the Mets are out on Bellinger, it leaves the Yankees as the clear best fit. And they can't afford to whiff on him, too.
New York's lineup doesn't look like a World Series-caliber unit right now. Adding Bellinger back to the lineup would bring the unit back to the level it was last year.
The Yankees are seemingly being quite aggressive in pursuit of Bellinger right now. I expect him to sign a huge deal with the Yankees in the coming weeks.
