why are you assuming they won't extend bellinger? he fits in perfectly with what they're trying to do long-term and he's getting under 200 million, which means he's in the cubs price range.
the cubs should buy, but they aren't really comparable situations. the angels are desperate to win this year because they're trying to keep the best player of all time.
that's what i was thinking. my dream scenario for bellinger when he signed was that he returned to form and we extended him, but 8 years with his past terrifies me.
if he finishes with 4-5 war, what kind of contract do we all think he's going to get? i honestly have no idea on the years or money, he's such a weird case.
I'm not here to defend jed, but you could just as easily say we'd be way worse if we had gotten a non-dansby shortstop and someone other than bellinger
Jed still sucks though
