He&#8217;s an interesting free agent because it&#8217;s obvious he would like to stay with New York, and his swing and defense play so well in Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<h2>Cody Bellinger receives $168 million contract prediction.<\/h2>\n<p>According to MLB insider and The Athletic writer Jim Bowden, Cody Bellinger is predicted to receive a six-year, $168 million extension this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Bellinger can play defense at all three outfield spots and can play a sound first base. These factors may improve his market value, and he&#8217;s been an above-average hitter for three straight seasons.<\/p>\n<p>In his first season in pinstripes, Bellinger smashed 29 homers, added 25 doubles, and drove in 98 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Cody Bellinger is a Scott Boras client, and Boras is notorious for pulling players like Bellinger out of their current deals in search of a more lucrative deal. Bellinger would certainly be getting that in this case.<\/p>\n<p>However, other teams may also make a run at the two-time All-Star and 2X Silver Slugger. Bowden also indicates that the Mets and Astros could be potential &#8216;best fits&#8217; for Bellinger.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What will Cody Bellinger&#8217;s contract look like?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":114986,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114985","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
