Dodgers: Insider Predicts a Cody Bellinger Trade, Why LA Would & Wouldn’t Trade the Former MVP

It’s no secret that Cody Bellinger has experienced the worst season of his five-year MLB career. The former MVP has posted career lows in batting average (.159), slugging (.291) and his 43 wRC+ is the second lowest in MLB for players with a minimum of 300 plate appearances.

The Dodgers knew it was going to take some time for him to find his swing and get his power back after the former Rookie of the year underwent offseason shoulder surgery. But to make matters worse, Bellinger suffered a hairline fracture to his left fibula in LA’s fourth game of the season that led to months on the IL.
