Awards season kicked off Thursday, as the Major League Baseball Players Association announced the winners of the Players Choice Awards, naming Cody Bellinger the National League Comeback Player of the Year.
Bellinger signed a pillow contract with the Cubs for the 2023 season, and during the past year he built such a strong jumping-off point that he’s poised for a big pay day in free agency this offseason. Though the Cubs have shown interest in bringing him back next year, whether the organization will make the most appealing bid for him, or lose him to another team, has yet to be seen.
