The Red Sox signed Ranger Su rez in free agency after Alex Bregman left for Chicago

The deal includes a full no-trade clause, a $20 million signing bonus and opt outs after 2027 and 2028. Everything in recent days was trending towards this outcome, especially with the Mets seemingly taking themselves out of the mix by acquiring Luis Robert Jr. last night. The Cubs had been another suitor, but that appeared to end when they landed Alex Bregman, and the Dodgers solved their outfield need with Kyle Tucker. Bellinger's return as the primary left fielder would seem to leave little room for Jasson Dominguez and top prospect Spencer Jones in the Yankees' immediate plans. Dominguez could remain a fourth outfielder, which is how he ended last year, but it's also possible the team could send him down to play regularly initially.
