Former Dodgers Star Labeled as 'Fallback Plan' for Phillies, Blue Jays
"Bellinger spent the first six seasons of his MLB career with the Dodgers, and had a wildly successful time through his first four seasons. He won an MVP in 2019, and maintained an OPS above .775 through all four years. After the 2020 season, though Bellinger's numbers took a huge dip. He had a collective .611 OPS in 2021 and 2022, recording 29 homers and 104 RBIs across both seasons - numbers he surpassed in his MVP season alone."
"The Dodgers non-tendered him after 2022, and he moved to the Chicago Cubs. Bellinger found his feet again with the Cubs, posting an .881 OPS with 26 homers and 97 RBIs in his first season on the North Side. He followed his comeback season up with another solid season in Chicago, and moved to the Yankees ahead of 2025. He had his best season since his MVP year with the Yankees, hitting 29 home runs and tallying 98 RBIs."
Cody Bellinger is a free agent with the New York Yankees the favorites to sign him, while the New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays are also potential suitors. Bellinger spent his first six MLB seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning the 2019 MVP and maintaining an OPS above .775 through his first four years. His production declined after 2020, producing a .611 OPS across 2021–22 and leading to a non-tender by the Dodgers. He revived his career with the Chicago Cubs, posting an .881 OPS and strong counting stats, then joined the Yankees and produced 29 homers and 98 RBIs in 2025.
