"When Bellinger burst onto the scene in 2017, he delivered an electric rookie campaign, hitting .267 with a .933 OPS and 39 home runs. This resulted in an All-Star selection and National League Rookie of the Year honors. Bellinger, the Dodgers' fourth round pick in the 2013 Draft, would have a slightly down year in 2018, but earned NLCS MVP honors to help his squad win its second NL pennant in as many years."
"Bellinger's production would drop during the shortened 2020 campaign, but he would still play an important part in the Dodgers' seventh World Series in franchise history. He would fail to get close to what he did during his MVP season, until he made his way to the Chicago Cubs in 2023, hitting .307 that season. After two years in Chicago and spending last season in New York, Bellinger has yet to return to an All-Star game since that 2019 campaign."
Cody Bellinger intends to decline a $25 million Yankees option and enter unrestricted free agency this offseason after recording the second-best bWAR of his career in 2025. Bellinger debuted in 2017 with a .267 average, .933 OPS and 39 home runs, earning NL Rookie of the Year and an All-Star selection. He peaked in 2019 with a .305/.406/.629 slash, 47 homers, MVP honors and a Gold Glove. Production dipped in 2020, though he helped the Dodgers win a World Series. He hit .307 with the Cubs in 2023 and could provide depth and upside if reunited with the Dodgers.
