Bellinger became a free agent Monday after declining his $25 million player option for 2026, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bellinger will test out free agency after slashing .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs, 98 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 152 regular-season games for the Yankees in 2025. The Yankees will likely make an effort to re-sign the 30-year-old, but Bellinger should have a healthy market as a relatively young free agent coming off a nice season who can play multiple positions.

Bellinger plans to decline his $25 million player option for 2026 and become a free agent, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bellinger opting out of the final year of his deal and hitting the free-agent market this winter has been a foregone conclusion for a while now, as the 30-year-old is in line to net a lucrative, multi-year pact. He slashed .272/.334/.480 with 29 home runs, 98 RBI and 13 stolen bases over 152 games in 2025 while playing plus defense at multiple positions. Having previously received a qualifying offer, Bellinger is not eligible to get another one, which will only enhance his free-agent appeal.

Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
Bellinger blasted his 29th big fly of the year, getting him on the verge of submitting the second 30-homer campaign of his career and his first since his 2019 National League MVP season. The veteran outfielder is on the cusp of recording a 100-RBI season for the second time in his career as well, as he's up to 97 RBI in 2025. Bellinger has also been a five-category contributor for fantasy managers, batting .275 with 81 runs scored and 12 stolen bases over 553 at-bats to go with his strong power figures.

Bellinger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Bellinger brought New York to within a run with his three-run blast in the ninth inning, but the team wasn't able to complete the comeback. The veteran outfielder is up to 27 homers on the campaign, his highest mark since he went deep 47 times during his MVP 2019 campaign while with the Dodgers. Bellinger's .837 OPS this season is also on pace for his second-highest mark since that MVP campaign.

On the year, the outfielder is up to a .283/.336/.511 slash line with 26 homers, 81 RBI, 75 runs scored, 22 doubles, five triples and 11 stolen bases over 124 contests. He is on pace to exceed the 30-homer mark for the first time since his 47-homer season in 2019.

The veteran outfielder also registered his first four-hit attack of the campaign, and he remains a steady producer in the heart of the Yankees' lineup. Over his last 39 contests (158 at-bats), Bellinger is batting .278 with 19 extra-base hits, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored and two stolen bases.
