MLB Insider Reveals Perfect Cody Bellinger Replacement for Cubs
Unfortunately for the Chicago Cubs, Cody Bellinger probably isn’t coming back next year. The free-agent outfielder already declined a qualifying offer from the Cubs earlier this season and appears to be seeking a contract in the $200 million range.
At the rate this offseason is going, the Los Angeles Dodgers will probably sign him and defer all his money until 2050.
Jokes aside, a Bellinger reunion appears increasingly unlikely for Chicago. The Cubs need to be prepared to replace his production in the lineup after he provided 26 home runs, 97 RBIs and an .881 OPS last year.
Fortunately, MLB insider Jon Morosi has the perfect solution.
In an interview with MLB Network on Monday, Morosi named former Philadelphia Phillies slugger Rhys Hoskins as a top fit for Chicago.
