The Yankees could move Cody Bellinger to center field, but his defense in left gives them a reason to consider other options.

Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media argues that the New York Yankees risk weakening their defense if they move Cody Bellinger to center field. With Trent Grisham entering free agency, the Yankees face outfield decisions, and Wilson suggests keeping Bellinger in left field because his defensive performance there was exceptionally strong.
Bellinger was a Gold Glove finalist after leading all Major League left fielders with 21 Defensive Runs Saved. Additional offseason outfield considerations include managing Aaron Judge's workload after injuries limited him to 66 games, alongside Giancarlo Stanton's designated hitter role.
