It has been said that no one believes in you more than you especially when you're asking for a $200 million contract for multiple years. Cody Bellinger had a red hot start to the season and when he was injured the Cubs struggled. But that's one year with the Cubs when the previous seasons he had bad numbers and blamed it on injuries. If I was him I would have signed a two year contract because as you see no one is hot to sign him. He had plenty of interest after the 2023 season that quickly waned as free agency has gone on. Everyone is basically yelling at the Cubs "sign him already!" But the Cubs are 

lukewarm on doing that because he had one good year. He really needs to bring his numbers down big time but Scott Boras won't let that happen because they say he can get the big contracts for his players as an agent. Not this player. He started during the season saying the Cubs would be fools not to re-sign Bellinger. But let's be realistic one season does not a legend make. I've heard he wants a contract as long as 8 years. I'm not sure there were a lot of teams looking to sign him when the Cubs snatched him up. And you see the same with pitchers and catchers reporting this month. He'd be better off signing with the Cubs for another two seasons and then signing a big contract. The only problem is he's too close to thirty years old. No one wants to sign someone for 8 years at 28. G©
