Cody Bellinger makes no sense to me. How can a player bounce up and down in value as extremely as this guy without having major injuries? He won an MVP award in 2019 and was on pace for 4.5ish wins in the shortened 2020 season at ages 23 and 24 respectively. It looked like he had a shot at being one of the best players of this generation. Then in 2021 he fell off a cliff. He hit .165/.240/.302 and posted -1.0 fWAR. In 2023 he bounced back after a change in scenery at age 27. Maybe the ship was righted, though no one in the free agency market seemed willing to give him a huge, long-term guarantee.
Should the Royals trade for Cody Bellinger?
