The Athletics’ own Ken Rosenthal broke the news that the Dodgers outfielder, NL Rookie of the year, and former MVP Cody Bellinger will be non-tender and become a free agent. After much speculation about what LA would do with Cody on the deadline, we finally got our answer.
We quoted Rosenthal’s tweet asking what the fans thought of the decision, and the news saddens many.
The rise and fall of Cody Bellinger have been a whirlwind. Belli burst into the scene in 2017 after his debut in San Francisco. He came up with clutch hits in the 2017 World Series and the 2018 postseason and solidified himself as one of the best players in 2019 by winning NL MVP.
