Cubs Desperately Trying to Trade Former Dodgers MVP Cody Bellinger: Report

The Chicago Cubs are reportedly trying to trade former Los Angeles Dodgers star Cody Bellinger, but they are having trouble finding a trade partner.

Bellinger signed with the Cubs back in Dec. 2022 on a one-year deal with a player option for the 2024 season. He put in a resurgent year in 2023, hitting a career-high .307 with 26 home runs and 97 RBIs. He was named the National League Comeback Player of the Year following the season, and the Cubs re-signed him to a three-year, $80 million deal that February.
