ORLANDO, Fla. — On Tuesday, one prospective team interested in Cody Bellinger is likely out of the running.

The agent representing the outfielder revealed the extent of the competition the Yankees face in retaining Bellinger. Although the Phillies may no longer be contenders following their five-year, $150 million agreement with Kyle Schwarber, the landscape remains competitive.

Scott Boras, speaking as news of Schwarber’s deal surfaced, stated that Bellinger is attracting interest from several teams, including the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Giants, Reds, and Angels. With Schwarber now signed, the chase for the left-handed hitter is expected to intensify.

“I won’t make judgments, but elite players become crucial when key bats are removed from lineups,” Boras commented during his annual client update at the winter meetings. “I’ve yet to encounter a team that sidesteps a five-tool athlete. Filling a center field void is a significant stride toward postseason success. Across the continent, outfielders with speed and power are a rare find. During the offseason, many organizations are in a growth phase, and therefore, many ‘Angel investors’ are keen on acquiring versatile outfielders.

“Aside from that, there isn’t much interest in Belli.”

There was initially some thought that Bellinger would wait for Kyle Tucker to sign before agreeing to any deal, and while that may no longer be the case, it also did not sound as if anything was imminent.

“I can never predict markets because when owners get involved, they can do things at a moment’s notice,” Boras said. “With these type of players, it’s happened before, I would expect it could happen again.”

Boras declined to say if Hal Steinbrenner had gotten involved in the Bellinger talks to date, but GM Brian Cashman has been in regular contact with talks continuing.

While Steinbrenner said last month that getting his payroll under $300 million would be “ideal” — something that would be virtually impossible if they sign Bellinger, given that they are already projected to be at $283 million — Boras said he has not gotten any sense from his talks with the Yankees that they are trying to limit spending.

“I don’t think when Cash or [team president] Randy [Levine] call me, they talk about limiting payroll, no they don’t,” Boras said. “They talk about acquiring players. They’ve never made mention of that. I go back to what they did with [Juan] Soto last year. Hal, Randy and Cash did everything they could possibly do to pursue a great talent. So I have no reason that they would approach this market any differently.”
