Considered one of the top free agents in the MLB this winter, Cody Bellinger has caught the attention of teams looking to strengthen their roster. According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman, the New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, and the Cubs are the top contenders in the hunt for Bellinger’s signature. After an impressive 2023 season with the Cubs, Bellinger’s future seems uncertain as he explores his options.
Bellinger’s standout season with the Cubs, boasting 26 home runs and 97 RBIs, has undoubtedly positioned him as a valuable asset for any team. Heyman believes that the Cubs are expected to make a strong push to bring him back, signaling their interest in retaining Bellinger’s services for the upcoming season.
Having experienced a career turnaround with the Cubs, Bellinger’s future has been the subject of much speculation. With the Yankees, Giants, and Cubs emerging as the top contenders, it remains to be seen where Bellinger will end up.
Ranked as one of the best non-Shohei Ohtani free agents, Bellinger’s potential return to the North Side could address the Cubs’ need to strengthen their center field and first base positions. As the offseason progresses, it will be intriguing to see which team will ultimately secure Bellinger’s talents for the upcoming MLB season.
