Outfielder Cody Bellinger and the Cubs have reportedly agreed to a one-year contract worth $17.5 million, according to multiple reports and confirmed by Sports Illustrated’s Stephanie Apstien.
Bellinger was a top prospect for the Dodgers who was one of the league’s best hitters early in his career, winning the 2017 NL Rookie of the Year and 2019 NL MVP. He hit over 25 home runs in each of his first three seasons, topping out at 47 in 2019.
However, Bellinger struggled since and hasn’t gotten back to his MVP form.
