Cody Bellinger-Cubs contract details make you wonder why Dodgers didn’t pull trigger

Cody Bellinger was traded to the Chicago Cubs. He will earn $12.5 million at the start of the season and $25 million for 2024. The deal includes an additional $5M at end of season. He was the Los Angeles Dodgers' MVP in 2019. Bellingers had a bad year in 2020 and a good one in 2021. Dodgers just finished paying him $16.1 million in 2011. They followed up that with a $900,000 raise. If Bellingser plays well next season, he'll earn more than $ 25M next year. His contract is seven years long.
