There are reasons the Yankees might not win the bidding for Cody Bellinger, who will command a lot of money for a player the Dodgers did not tender a contract just a few years ago because he ranked among the worst hitters in the game.

There are reasons the Yankees might not extend a qualifying offer to and/or retain Trent Grisham, a career .218 hitter who is coming off a career year that might not prove repeatable.
