Chicago inked him to a three-year deal with opt-outs after 2024 and 2025. Bellinger shockingly opted into his player option for 2025 which has left the Cubs scrambling for trade suitors. Plenty of teams could use Bellinger&#8217;s production, but not too many teams want him for the massive price tag that comes with him. If Chicago eats some of his contract, the list of interested suitors would grow.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Levine of 670 The Score recently reported that three contending clubs have checked in on the Cubs&#8217; $80 million outfielder this winter. &#8220;As soon as star outfielder Juan Soto chooses which New York club he wants to take $600 million from in free agency, discussions around Bellinger will gain more traction,&#8221; Levine wrote. &#8220;Recently, the (New York) Yankees, (Seattle) Mariners, and (Houston) Astros have all checked in with the Cubs about a Bellinger trade, sources told 670 The Score. Many around baseball expect Soto to make his decision before or during the Winter Meetings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bellinger hit .266 with 18 home runs, 78 RBIs, and a .751 OPS in 130 games in 2024. He posted a much better year in 2023, where he posted a 4.4 WAR with a .881 OPS and 26 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees could use a first baseman or an outfielder, depending on whether they can re-sign Soto or not. The Astros could also use both positions that Bellinger plays and the Mariners could use any kind of offense they could get.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Cubs are reportedly looking to trade their star outfielder Cody Bellinger this winter.
