Since losing out on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, the New York Yankees have been active in retooling their roster. Their latest move came with a side of quirky history, as New York acquired outfielder and first baseman Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs for pitcher Cody Poteet in MLB’s first ever “Cody swap.” After a tough end to his tenure with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bellinger had a career resurgence with the Cubs, slashing .286/.340/.815 with 44 home runs and 175 RBI in two seasons. Bellinger is the third significant acquisition the Yankees have made over the past week and change, joining starting pitcher Max Fried and closer Devin Williams.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Bellinger brings not only tangible skills like defensive versatility and a left-handed swing that should benefit from the short porch in Yankee Stadium’s right field, but also postseason experience and MVP pedigree. With that being said, can you name every player to record 45 home runs and 100 RBI in a season since 2004?
Good luck!
