"He played 239 games in his final two seasons with the Dodgers, where he had an OPS of .611 and batted .193. He still managed 29 home runs, however was far below the production the Dodgers expected out of him at that point. Bellinger has had a few solid seasons since, though, posting an OPS above .750 in each. He hit 29 home runs in 2025, which is exactly as many as he did for the Dodgers in 2021 and 2022 combined."
""You could play him in left, play him in right, play him at first when Freddie Freeman needs a day off," McKain said. "The issue I have with Cody Bellinger, and kind of the one warning sign, is he was an All-Star at Yankee Stadium where he had the short porch. He was a below average player outside of New York.""
The Los Angeles Dodgers could pursue free agent Cody Bellinger to fill an outfield vacancy created by Michael Conforto's departure. Bellinger struggled in his final two seasons with Los Angeles, playing 239 games with a .611 OPS and a .193 batting average, though he still hit 29 home runs. Since leaving Los Angeles, Bellinger posted an OPS above .750 each season, hit 29 home runs in 2025, and earned MVP votes in 2023 and 2025. Concerns include inconsistent performance outside of Yankee Stadium, where the short right-field porch and his left-handed swing provided a notable advantage.
