The Chicago Cubs and free agent Cody Bellinger have agreed to terms on a three year, $80 million deal, per multiple reports. Bellinger gets $30 million per year for 2024 and 2025 and $20 million for 2026, with opt outs after each year.
The 28 year old has had a strange saga of late. After winning the National League MVP award with the Dodgers in 2019, he had a disappointing 2020 campaign, then was awful in 2021 and 2022. After being non-tendered by the Dodgers, Bellinger signed a one year deal with the Cubs for 2023. He rebounded, putting up an 881 OPS and 4.
