Cody Bellinger, the top position player in this year’s class of free agents, has signed with the Chicago Cubs. After a successful turnaround season with the Cubs in 2023, Bellinger secured a unique contract structure that allows him flexibility to test the market again in the near future.
Bellinger's journey to re-signing with the Cubs began after being nontendered by the Los Angeles Dodgers following a disappointing 2022 season. However, his one-year contract with the Cubs proved to be a career-changing move as he excelled with a .307 batting average and won a Silver Slugger award.
