    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.

    Considering Inflation, and length of time, this is probably not actually any more than Jason Heyward received.

    If I had to guess, Belli’s preference would be to resign with Cubs and Boras is using Blue Jays to try to get the Cubs to cave, however Bellinger is willing to sign with Toronto if the Cubs don’t. So basically he’s going to sign with the Jays.

    It sounds like this is now the cost of doing business if a team wants to be in play for the big FA's.  It's not my money but I think they should do it.
