Cody Bellinger does not opt out of his 2025 contract and will remain a Cub

Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. He's also written three books about the Cubs, the latest is "Chicago Cubs Firsts."

We’ve been waiting for news on Cody Bellinger and here it is:

So Bellinger will remain a Cub and play a third season on the North Side.
