Cody Bellinger's free agency process has been characterized by patience. New York Yankees fans eager to see Belli return to the Bronx have had to exercise patience as they await his free-agent fate. Bellinger's agent, Scott Boras, is reportedly leaning into the patience, as buzz from the Winter Meetings suggests Boras would prefer to proceed with Cody's sweepstakes once Kyle Tucker has signed somewhere.
This is why when Los Angeles Dodgers PBO Andrew Friedman said this past week that he "may have to be a little patient" in pursuing LA's next position player target, people immediately thought of Bellinger.
