For quite some time, we suspect that the Dodgers have in mind to cut ties with Cody Bellinger because of the salary he could command.
After all, earning nearly $18 million for performing poorly is too much.
We thought that the Dodgers might refuse to qualify him in order to make him a free agent and finally, that’s what happened.
Bellinger is therefore a free man.
At the base, he was a year away from becoming a free agent, but now he will be able to sign with the formation of his choice. And it will be for less than $18 million…
Note that the Dodgers will make a pitch sale to bring it back, but not at any cost. If he wants to come back at a discount, the door is open.
Note that the Nationals made the same kind of decision with Luke Voit, who arrived at the trade deadline for Juan Soto.
He earned $5.5 million in 2022 and would have earned more in 2023.
- Lou Trivino and the Yankees have found common ground.
- Kyle Farmer in Minnesota.
- Yas and the Giants get along.
- Abraham Toro changes agent.
