What a day it’s been at the Winter Meetings — and it just got crazier. Former Dodgers OF Cody Bellinger is officially signing with the Chicago Cubs.
The deal is for one year, and reported to be for $17.5 million. Bellinger’s agent, Scott Boras, had made it clear that they wanted to take a one-year deal with the hopes of raising his value ahead of next year’s free agency — so that’s exactly what they did.
This officially brings an end to the Cody Bellinger era in Los Angeles. Bellinger was drafted by the Dodgers in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB Draft, and spent all six years of his career in LA.
