One of the biggest questions the Dodgers are facing this offseason is what to do with Cody Bellinger. On the one hand, Bellinger won the MVP Award just three years ago and is only 27 years old. On the other hand, he took a big step back in 2020, an even bigger step back in 2021, and not nearly enough of a step forward in 2022, when he posted a 78 OPS+ in 550 plate appearances.
Bellinger would make at least $14 million in arbitration, and realistically it would be closer to the $17 million he made in 2022 (players rarely take a pay cut in arbitration).
