for Baez in 2021. If the Cubs field a contending team, Bellinger could help them return to the postseason for the first time since 2018. If they struggle -- and Bellinger is performing -- he could be traded at the July deadline as the team makes way for Crow-Armstrong. If he continues to struggle, the Cubs will have wasted $17.5 million -- but at least it would be for just one season.
Earlier on Tuesday, Bellinger's agent, Scott Boras, said he was fielding multiyear offers for Bellinger but wanted a one-year deal so he could re-enter free agency after the 2023 season, hopefully after a better performance that in recent seasons. Bellinger's batting average plummeted to .165 in 2021. Last season he hit .210 with 19 home runs in 144 games for a Dodgers team that set a franchise record with 111 wins.
In six MLB seasons, all with Los Angeles, Bellinger has a career .248 batting average with 152 home runs, 422 RBIs and 62 stolen bases.

This pretty much puts the Dodgers in a bind for the next decade. At least we got a WS title way back in 2020.
It's a real bummer to see him go. He was one of my all time favorite Dodger players. Hope he is successful with the Cubs....except when they play the Dodgers 😀
bye boo
