The Dodgers are no longer willing to be patient with the struggling hitter after his struggles this season, but 11 other teams are open to new things on the former MVP.

Bellinger will have plenty of options as he seeks a short-term contract to bet on himself once more (via Jon Heyman, New York Post).

“Cody Bellinger has interest from 11 teams following the Dodgers’ decision to nontender him (he was expected to get $19 million in arbitration). The Astros, Cubs and Giants are among the teams in play. Bellinger will seek a one-year deal to reset his value”

A one-year contract is the best option for Bellinger, who wants to prove his worth and get back into the market. It’s a big bet to make, but Bellinger should be fine with it.
