The Yankees’ margin for error with Cody Bellinger in free agency is shrinking

The music hasn’t stopped yet, but it’s certainly getting close to the final chorus in the game of musical chairs that is MLB free agency.

And as the Yankees and Cody Bellinger continue their dance around contract length, what would have been their top two free agent pivots had they failed to find common ground with Bellinger are no longer on the board.

With Kyle Tucker inking a four-year, $240 million contract from the Dodgers and Bo Bichette heading to Queens on a three-year deal worth $126 million, the Yankees’ options for an impact bat outside of Bellinger are dwindling — and they’re not crowded on the trade market, either — increasing pressure to finally secure a reunion with their top offseason priority.

The Yankees are believed to have extended an offer to Bellinger for five years and $155 million, although the 30-year-old’s camp is still looking for a seven-year deal. Now that Tucker and Bichette have agreed to deals elsewhere, the market for Bellinger should become more clearly defined, with the left-hitting outfielder becoming the clear top hitter available in free agency — and by a fair margin, with third baseman Eugenio Suárez being the next best hitter.

There was a feeling that Bellinger would wait for Tucker to sign so that the teams that missed out on the former Astro and Cub could stimulate the market for the former Yankee, Cub and Dodger. Besides the Dodgers, the Mets and Blue Jays were the teams that went the hardest for Tucker, and while the Mets rebounded by signing Bichette — who the Phillies tried to land — to a new short-term deal, they still have a need for the outfield.

So the Yankees’ competition for Bellinger now includes the Mets, Blue Jays and Giants, perhaps with the Phillies also in play, although they responded to the loss of Bichette by re-signing catcher JT Realmuto to a three-year, $45 million deal.

The Blue Jays had offered Tucker a 10-year deal worth $350 million, The Post’s Jon Heyman reported. Tucker is a year and a half younger and a more consistent hitter, but could they be willing to offer some of that money and years for Bellinger? Plus, it would be two for the price of one, keeping him away from their AL East rivals, who have said all along how much they want to bring him back.

The Mets had offered Tucker four years and $220 million, per Heyman. They hate to offer long-term deals to older players, but would a short-term deal with a higher average annual value than what the Yankees are offering be a thing for Bellinger? The Mets could certainly use him, with their current projected outfield consisting of Juan Soto in right, Tyrone Taylor in center and rookie Carson Benge in left. And Bellinger’s agent, Scott Boras, is just over a year removed from his client (then Soto) being embroiled in a bidding war between the two New York teams.

For now, the Yankees are sticking with their five-year offer for Bellinger, being careful all winter to avoid bidding against themselves. But their margin of error is small.

Brian Cashman has said all along that they could go into the spring with a left field matchup between Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones. And if they do miss Bellinger, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them add a right-handed outfielder — someone like Austin Hays — to potentially platoon Domínguez, a switch-hitter who is much better from the left side.

But such a scenario would still leave them with a big hole in their lineup, given the threat of Bellinger spending most of last year behind Aaron Judge and removing a valuable, versatile and reliable defenseman from their roster. All of this, of course, is why he’s been the Yankees’ top target from the beginning, as long as it’s done at a price and over time that they’re comfortable with.
