Cody Bellinger has been the biggest topic of Cubs-related conversation since last season ended, and that includes the talks among his teammates. They weren’t even shy about it, with Dansby Swanson standing out as the most publicly vocal at Cubs Convention back in January. That didn’t go unnoticed by the Bellinger, whose protracted free agency defied nearly every projection.
“Yeah, it was amazing,” Bellinger shared during his re-introductory press conference on Wednesday. “Just the constant support from the teammates. Obviously, everyone knew how great of a time I had last year and how great of a clubhouse we had and just the positive words that they were bringing this past offseason, which was great to hear and obviously was super excited to get back here with them.
