Cody Bellinger Asking for Over $200 Million, Blue Jays and Cubs In Play

Jon Heyman of the New York post reported that Cody Bellinger and his agent, Scott Boras, are asking for a contract north of $200 million.

Bellinger reportedly liked his time in the friendly confines and is interested in returning to the Cubs provided they meet his terms. Bellinger had an excellent bounce back season in 2023, posting a 133 OPS+ and 4.4 rWAR. The center fielder struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness following his 2019 MVP season with the Dodgers but despite how long he has been in the league and the ups and downs of his career, 2024 will be his age-28 season.
