His eyes loose track of the ball causing more popups and swing & miss issues. He does not take instruction and is in a rut offensively. We know he’s good for a bunch of HRs when he’s healthy. However, no one Cubs included is fixing Bellinger’s issues at the plate.

As of May 2018 only three Dodgers have hit for the cycle since the team moved to LA, a span of 60 seasons. They are Wes Parker , Orlando Hudson , and Bellinger.
SF Giants offered Brandon Nimmo a deal before he re-signed with Mets
He has 15 home runs this year and watching him compete against Harper – who is only one year younger than Bryant and also grew in Las Vegas, Nev. – would make the derby even more entertaining. Nothing is for certain, but I would bet on seeing the Yankees rookie among the eight-man field July 10. Judge also elaborated that he wouldn’t be concerned with the Derby affecting his swing. Fresh off his Arson Judge mishap, Jon Heyman reported that Bellinger will go to the Chicago Cubs. ESPN's Jeff Passan said the 2019 NL MVP signed a one-year, $17.5 million deal. Cody Bellinger will hope to revive his career on a new NL team.
And Bellinger is going to get overpaid and plenty of playing time. Other teams certainly saw the potential in Bellinger playing injury-free for the first time in years, and his positional value. Now I don’t have to pretend to like the guy for wearing a Rockies uniform for 6 months. As a cubs fan I’m not the biggest on Swanson so either way I’m fine if we sign him or don’t sign him. If he repeats what he did last year, he’s already an upgrade for the Cubs in CF, but they’re hoping a change of scenery gets his bat going again while the short term deal allows PCA to develop more.
Deals for Bogaerts, Judge, Contreras and more: What we're hearing at the winter meetings5dESPN
He admitted in August that his poor batting was due to lingering pain and weakness from both the shoulder and leg injuries, and Bellinger's batting grew stronger as he continued to exercise the affected areas. At the end of the month, Roberts made the decision to relegate Bellinger to a platoon role in the outfield, starting A. J. Pollock, Mookie Betts, or Chris Taylor against left-handed pitchers. Injuries to Pollock and Taylor, however, forced the Dodgers to renege on that platoon system shortly after its introduction.
Cody James Bellinger is an American professional baseball center fielder and first baseman who is a free agent. He has played in Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He was selected by the Dodgers in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB draft and debuted with the team in 2017. And it’s not a pipedream to think that he could find that form again, or something close to it.
Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger among our dream lineup for 2017 Home Run Derby
More than one that has them potentially signing both Boegarts and Swanson. Bellinger batted first against the higher-seed Judge (No. 2 overall) in the second round, and hit a bit of a lull. Bellinger ended with 12 home runs in his four minutes, but didn’t hit two 440-foot home runs so he got no bonus.

In Round 1, the left-handed batter took down Blackmon, with 15 homers, including a huge walk-off shot to send him into the next round.
He also has hit the most home runs in the first half of a season by a Dodgers player since Shaw Green slugged 26 in 2002. Cody Bellinger and Aaron Judge have combined to become just the eighth pair of rookies to reach the 30-HR mark in the same season. Both could easily hit 40 as they have two more months of the regular season left to play. But we all know the old saying, “Oh how the mighty have fallen”. For the last 3 seasons, his BA’s were .239, .165, and .210.
Cody Bellinger hits two home runs again as…
If he’s playing well and the club is bad, his short-term deal means he should be able to be flipped at the deadline for prospects. As mentioned, even if Bellinger doesn’t truly bounce back, he can still be a useful player with his glovework and baserunning, meaning he could still be an interested trade chip regardless. The Cubs were linked to Bellinger a few weeks ago and make plenty of sense as a landing spot for him. The rebuilding team had a rotating cast of characters playing center field for them this year, including Christopher Morel, Jason Heyward, Rafael Ortega, Nelson Velázquez and Michael Hermosillo.
Now, the Los Angeles team must look for a new center fielder with the departure of Cody Bellinger. According to a report by Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Chicago Cubs signed the outfielder for one year and $17.5 million. At this time, the team has not confirmed the transaction. It’s sad to hear the fans of “big market” teams like the Dodgers, guilty of financial doping year in and year out, complaining about others cheating. It seems the world is littered with hypocrites. With a 472-foot blast to his name, he is behind just Judge and Jake Lamb of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the longest home run of the year.
I think he’ll still suck but it needed to be noted. But if you steadily improve for three years…………yet to be determined. When uncle Tom Ricketts said Jed could spend, he didn’t say to spend a boatload of money on a guy who can’t hit. Heyward came in on a long contract off of high caliber performance. This is a one year deal on a guy coming off poor performance. The Cubs were also 8 games over .500 after the All-Star break last year.
This is the second successive season a Dodgers player has won the NL Rookie of the Year award unanimously. Bellinger is the 18th Dodger to win Rookie of the Year, far and away the most for any franchise. Among the previous winners are Jackie Robinson, Don Newcombe, Fernando Valenzuela, and Mike Piazza.
Sorry but I had to stop reading after you said it wasn’t our money because it damn well is. Maybe it isn’t yours but it sure as hell is mine. They’re always going to be “in the running” for the elite top free agents out there even when they have no real interest or low interest in signing those players.
