The Chicago Cubs have made a significant move by re-signing outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger to a three-year, $80 million deal. While the team has yet to officially confirm the signing, the contract structure appears to benefit both Bellinger and the Cubs.
Bellinger had a strong season in 2023 with the Cubs, posting a .881 OPS with 26 home runs and 29 doubles. This performance marked a bounceback for Bellinger, who had struggled in his final years with the Dodgers due to injuries and poor form, leading to his release after the 2022 season.
